Kondo lattice models can display a fractionalized state (FL(*)) with unique Fermi surface properties. This state exhibits fractionalized excitations and allows for metamagnetic transitions in magnetic fields.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Materials
  • Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Background:

  • Kondo lattice models describe interactions between conduction and local moment electrons.
  • Understanding exotic electronic states is crucial for novel material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the possibility of a fractionalized, nonmagnetic state (FL(*)) in Kondo lattice models.
  • To characterize the properties and excitations of this FL(*) state.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of Kondo lattice models in d>=2 spatial dimensions.
  • Examination of Fermi surface properties and quasiparticle behavior.
  • Exploration of gauge theory connections and confinement effects.

Main Results:

  • Identified a fractionalized, nonmagnetic state (FL(*)) with electronlike quasiparticles.
  • Determined Fermi volume quantization for the FL(*) state as (rho(a)-1)(mod 2).
  • Linked fractionalized excitations to deconfined gauge theory phases, contrasting with confined Fermi liquid states.

Conclusions:

  • The FL(*) state represents a distinct phase of matter in Kondo lattice systems.
  • Confinement in these models leads to conventional Fermi liquid or superconducting states.
  • The FL(*) state exhibits unique behavior, including a second-order metamagnetic transition.
