Theory of Valence Transitions in Ytterbium-Based Compounds

  • Chapter
Open Problems in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 15))

Abstract

The anomalous behavior of YbInCu4 and similar compounds is modeled by the exact solution of the spin one-half Falicov-Kimball model in infinite dimensions. The valence-fluctuating transition is related to a metal-insulator transition caused by the Falicov-Kimball interaction, and triggered by the change in the f-occupancy.
