Precision measurements of charge transport parameters (resistivity, Hall and Seebeck coefficients) have been carried out on high-quality single-crystals of cerium hexaboride in a wide temperature range 1.8-300 K. It is shown that in the temperature interval of 5 K < T < T* = 80 K the magnetic contribution in resistivity obeys the power law rm = T -1/n, which corresponds to the regime of weak localization of charge carriers with the critical index 1/n = 0.39 +- 0.02. In the same temperature interval an asymptotic behavior of thermopower S = -lnT is found together with an essential decrease of the charge carriers mobility in CeB6. A negative Hall coefficient anomaly has been detected at liquid helium temperatures. The data obtained are compared with the results predicted by the Kondo-lattice model and discussed also in terms of the theory of excitonic ferromagnetism.

Magnetic properties of uranium and neptunium compounds showing the coexistence of Kondo screening effect and ferromagnetic order are investigated within the Anderson lattice Hamiltonian with a two-fold degenerate $f$-level in each site, corresponding to $5f^2$ electronic configuration with $S=1$ spins. A derivation of the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation is presented and the resulting Hamiltonian has an effective $f$-band term, in addition to the regular exchange Kondo interaction between the $S=1$ $f$-spins and the $s=1/2$ spins of the conduction electrons. The obtained effective Kondo lattice model can describe both the Kondo regime and a weak delocalization of $5f$-electron. Within this model we compute the Kondo and Curie temperatures as a function of model parameters, namely the Kondo exchange interaction constant $J_K$, the magnetic intersite exchange interaction $J_H$ and the effective $f$-bandwidth. We deduce, therefore, a phase diagram of the model which yields the coexistence of Kondo effect and ferromagnetic ordering and also accounts for the pressure dependence of the Curie temperature of uranium compounds such as UTe.
In the first step, experiments on a single cerium or ytterbium Kondo impurity reveal the importance of the Kondo temperature by comparison to other type of couplings like the hyperfine interaction, the crystal field and the intersite coupling. The ex tension to a lattice is discussed. Emphasis is given on the fact that the occupation number $n_f$ of the trivalent configuration may be the implicit key variable even for the Kondo lattice. Three $(P, H, T)$ phase diagrams are discussed: CeRu$_2$Si$_2$, CeRhIn$_5$ and SmS.
We present an extensive study of the two-impurity Kondo problem for spin-1 adatoms on square lattice using an exact canonical transformation to map the problem onto an effective one-dimensional system that can be numerically solved using the density matrix renormalization group method. We provide a simple intuitive picture and identify the different regimes, depending on the distance between the two impurities, Kondo coupling $J_K$, longitudinal anisotropy $D$, and transverse anisotropy $E$. In the isotropic case, two impurities on opposite(same) sublattices have a singlet(triplet) ground state. However, the energy difference between the triplet ground state and the singlet excited state is very small and we expect an effectively four-fold degenerate ground state, i.e., two decoupled impurities. For large enough $J_K$ the impurities are practically uncorrelated forming two independent underscreened states with the conduction electrons, a clear non-perturbative effect. When the impurities are entangled in an RKKY-like state, Kondo correlations persists and the two effects coexist: the impurities are underscreened, and the dangling spin-$1/2$ degrees of freedom are responsible for the inter-impurity entanglement. We analyze the effects of magnetic anisotropy in the development of quasi-classical correlations.
We examine the RKKY interactions of CeB$_6$ between multipole moments based on the effective Wannier model obtained from the bandstructure calculation including 14 Ce-$f$ orbitals and 60 conduction orbitals of Ce-$d,s$ and B-$p,s$. By using the $f$-$ c$ mixing matrix elements of the Wannier model together with the conduction band dispersion, the multipole couplings with the RKKY oscillation are obtained for the active moments in $Gamma_{8}$ subspace. Both of the $Gamma_{5g}$ quadrupole $O_{xy}$ and the $Gamma_{2u}$ octupole $T_{xyz}$ couplings are largely enhanced with $bm{q}=(pi,pi,pi)$ which naturally explains the antiferro-quadrupolar phase of the phase II, and are also enhanced with $bm{q}=(0,0,0)$ corresponding to the elastic softening of $C_{44}$. Also the couplings of the $Gamma_{5u}$ octupole $T_{z}^{beta}$ is quite large for $bm{q}=(0,0,pi)$ which is related to the antiferro-octupolar ordering of a possible candidate for the phase IV of Ce$_{x}$La$_{1-x}$B$_6$.
The magnetic correlations, local moments and the susceptibility in the correlated 2D Kondo lattice model at half filling are investigated. We calculate their systematic dependence on the control parameters J_K/t and U/t. An unbiased and reliable exac t diagonalization (ED) approach for ground state properties as well as the finite temperature Lanczos method (FTLM) for specific heat and the uniform susceptibility are employed for small tiles on the square lattice. They lead to two major results: Firstly we show that the screened local moment exhibits non-monotonic behavior as a function of U for weak Kondo coupling J_K. Secondly the temperature dependence of the susceptibility obtained from FTLM allows to extract the dependence of the characteristic Kondo temperature scale T* on the correlation strength U. A monotonic increase of T* for small U is found resolving the ambiguity from earlier investigations. In the large U limit the model is equivalent to the 2D Kondo necklace model with two types of localized spins. In this limit the numerical results can be compared to those of the analytical bond operator method in mean field treatment and excellent agreement for the total paramagnetic moment is found, supporting the reliability of both methods.
