The low-temperature behavior of the asymmetric single-impurity Anderson model is studied by diagrammatic methods resulting in analytically controllable approximations. We first discuss the ways one can simplify parquet equations in critical regions of singularities in the two-particle vertex. The scale vanishing at the critical point defines the Kondo temperature at which the electron-hole correlation function saturates. We show that the Kondo temperature exists at any filling of the impurity level. A quasiparticle resonance peak in the spectral function, however, forms only in almost electron-hole symmetric situations. We relate the Kondo temperature with the width of the resonance peak. Finally we discuss the existence of satellite Hubbard bands in the spectral function.

A basis of Bloch waves, distorted locally by the random potential, is introduced for electrons in the Anderson model. Matrix elements of the Hamiltonian between these distorted waves are averages over infinite numbers of independent site-energies, an d so take definite values rather than distributions of values. The transformed Hamiltonian is ordered, and may be interpreted as an itinerant electron interacting with a spin on each site. In this new basis, the distinction between extended and localized states is clear, and edges of the bands of extended states, the mobility edges, are calculated as a function of disorder. In two dimensions these edges have been found in both analytic and numerical applications of tridiagonalization, but they have not been found in analytic approaches based on perturbation theory, or the single-parameter scaling hypothesis; nor have they been detected in numerical approaches based on scaling or critical distributions of level spacing. In both two and three dimensions the mobility edges in this work are found to separate with increasing disorder for all disorders, in contrast with the results of calculation using numerical scaling for three dimensions. The analytic trajectories are compared with recent results of numerical tridiagonalization on samples of over 10^9 sites. This representation of the Anderson model as an ordered interacting system implies that in addition to transitions at mobility edges, the Anderson model contains weaker transitions characterized by critical disorders where the band of extended states decouples from individual sites; and that singularities in the distribution of site energies, rather than its second moment, determine localization properties of the Anderson model.
The variational cluster approach (VCA) based on the self-energy functional theory is applied to the two-dimensional symmetric periodic Anderson model at half filling. We calculate a variety of physical quantities including the staggered moments and s ingle-particle spectra at zero temperature to show that the symmetry breaking due to antiferromagnetic ordering occurs in the strong coupling region, whereas in the weak coupling region, the Kondo insulating state without symmetry breaking is realized. The critical interaction strength is estimated. We thus demonstrate that the phase transition due to competition between antiferromagnetism and Kondo screening in the model can be described quantitatively by VCA.
Dilute magnetic impurities in a disordered Fermi liquid are considered close to the Anderson metal-insulator transition (AMIT). Critical Power law correlations between electron wave functions at different energies in the vicinity of the AMIT result i n the formation of pseudogaps of the local density of states. Magnetic impurities can remain unscreened at such sites. We determine the density of the resulting free magnetic moments in the zero temperature limit. While it is finite on the insulating side of the AMIT, it vanishes at the AMIT, and decays with a power law as function of the distance to the AMIT. Since the fluctuating spins of these free magnetic moments break the time reversal symmetry of the conduction electrons, we find a shift of the AMIT, and the appearance of a semimetal phase. The distribution function of the Kondo temperature $T_{K}$ is derived at the AMIT, in the metallic phase and in the insulator phase. This allows us to find the quantum phase diagram in an external magnetic field $B$ and at finite temperature $T$. We calculate the resulting magnetic susceptibility, the specific heat, and the spin relaxation rate as function of temperature. We find a phase diagram with finite temperature transitions between insulator, critical semimetal, and metal phases. These new types of phase transitions are caused by the interplay between Kondo screening and Anderson localization, with the latter being shifted by the appearance of the temperature-dependent spin-flip scattering rate. Accordingly, we name them Kondo-Anderson transitions (KATs).
We apply the recently developed dual fermion algorithm for disordered interacting systems to the Anderson-Hubbard model. This algorithm is compared with dynamical cluster approximation calculations for a one-dimensional system to establish the qualit y of the approximation in comparison with an established cluster method. We continue with a three-dimensional (3d) system and look at the antiferromagnetic, Mott and Anderson localization transitions. The dual fermion approach leads to quantitative as well as qualitative improvement of the dynamical mean-field results and it allows one to calculate the hysteresis in the double occupancy in 3d taking into account nonlocal correlations.
The Kondo resonance at the Fermi level is well-established for the electronic structure of Ce (f1 electron) and Yb (f1 hole) based systems. In this work, we report complementary experimental and theoretical studies on the Kondo resonance in Pr-based f2 system, PrTi2Al20. Using Pr 3d-4f resonant photoemission spectroscopy and single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) calculations including the full multiplets of Pr ions, we show that an f2 system can also give rise to a Kondo resonance at the Fermi level. The Kondo resonance peak is experimentally observed through a final-state-multiplet dependent resonance and is reproduced with properly tuned hybridization strength in SIAM calculations.
