摘要：We obtain the conditions necessary for the emergence of various low-temperature ordered states (local-moment antiferromagnetism, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality, and Landau Fermi liquid behavior) in Kondo lattice materials by extending the two-fluid phenomenological theory of heavy-electron behavior to incorporate the concept of hybridization effectiveness. We use this expanded framework to present a new phase diagram and consistent physical explanation and quantitative description of measured emergent behaviors such as the pressure variation of the onset of local-moment antiferromagnetic ordering at TN, the magnitude of the ordered moment, the growth of superconductivity within that ordered state, the location of a quantum critical point, and of a delocalization line in the pressure/temperature phase diagram at which local moments have disappeared and the heavy-electron Fermi surface has grown to its maximum size. We apply our model to CeRhIn5 and a number of other heavy-electron materials and find good agreement with experiment.
