Extended dynamical mean field theory study of the periodic Anderson model.
We investigate the competition of the Kondo and the RKKY interactions in heavy fermion systems. We solve a periodic Anderson model using extended dynamical mean field theory (EDMFT) with quantum Monte Carlo method. We monitor simultaneously the evolution of the electronic and magnetic properties. As the RKKY coupling increases the heavy fermion quasiparticle unbinds and a local moment forms. At a critical RKKY coupling there is an onset of magnetic order. Within EDMFT the two transitions occur at different points and the disappearance of the magnetism is not described by a local quantum critical point.
