The Kondo lattice model including nearest-neighbor magnetic exchange interactions is studied here in a mean-field approximation describing both the Kondo state and the intersite magnetic correlations. In the case of antiferromagnetic correlations, our model yields a decrease of the Kondo temperature compared to the one-impurity value, giving, therefore, a “revisited” version of the Doniach diagram with a rather flat Kondo temperature in the nonmagnetic case, as observed in several cerium compounds. Our model shows also that short-range magnetic correlations can appear at a temperature clearly larger than the Kondo temperature, as observed in compounds such as CeCu6 or CeRu2Si2.

We present theoretical results for a Kondo-lattice model with spin-1/2 localized moments, including both the intrasite Kondo coupling and an intersite antiferromagnetic exchange interaction, treated within an extended mean-field approximation. We describe here the case of a noninteger conduction-band filling for which an “exhaustion” problem arises when the number of conduction electrons is not large enough to screen all the lattice spins. This is best seen in the computed magnetic susceptibility. The Kondo temperature so obtained is different from the single-impurity one, and increases for small values of the intersite interaction, but the Kondo-effect disappears abruptly for low band filling and/or strong intersite coupling; a phase diagram is presented as a function of both parameters. A discussion of experimental results on cerium Kondo compounds is also given.

We present theoretical results for the underscreened Kondo lattice model with localized S=1 spins coupled to a conduction band through a Kondo coupling, JK, and interacting among them ferromagnetically. We use a fermionic representation for the spin operators and expand the Hamiltonian in terms of bosonic fields. For large values of JK, we obtain a ferromagnetically ordered solution and a Kondo regime with a Kondo temperature, TK, larger than the Curie temperature, TC. This finding suggests a scenario for a coexistence of Kondo effect and ferromagnetic order. In some uranium compounds, such as UTe or UCu0.9Sb2, this kind of coexistence has been experimentally observed: they order ferromagnetically with a Curie temperature of order TC∼100K and exhibit a Kondo behavior for T>TC. The proposed underscreened Kondo lattice model accounts well for the coexistence between magnetic order and Kondo behavior and yields to a new “ferromagnetic Doniach diagram.”

We present evidence for the existence of magnetic clusters of approximately 20 Å in the strongly correlated alloy system CeNi1−xCux (0.7≤x≤0.2) based on small angle neutron scattering experiments as well as the occurrence of staircaselike hysteresis cycles at very low temperature (100 mK). An unusual feature is the observation of long-range ferromagnetic order below the cluster-glass transition without any indication of a sharp transition at a Curie temperature. These observations strongly support a phenomenological model where a percolative process connects both magnetic states. The model can account for all the puzzling data previously obtained in this system, providing a new perspective with regard to the magnetic ground state of other alloyed compounds with small magnetic moments or weak ferromagnetism with intrinsic disorder effects.
