The finite-U corrections are included systematically by transforming PAM into the form with Kondo-type interaction and residual hybridization, appearing both at the same time. This effective Hamiltonian represents the essence of \\textit{Anderson-Kondo lattice model}. We show that in ferromagnetic phases the low-energy single-particle states are strongly affected by the presence of the applied magnetic field. We also find that for large values of hybridization strength the system enters the so-called \\textit{locked heavy fermion state}. In this state the chemical potential lies in the majority-spin hybridization gap and as a consequence, the system evolution is insensitive to further increase of the applied field. However, for a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the system transforms from the locked state to the fully spin-polarized phase. This is accompanied by a metamagnetic transition, as well as by drastic reduction of the effective mass of quasiparticles. In particular, we observe a reduction of effective mass enhancement in the majority-spin subband by as much as 20% in the fully polarized state. The findings are consistent with experimental results for Ce$_x$La$_{1-x}$B$_6$ compounds. The mass enhancement for the spin-minority electrons may also diminish with the increasing field, unlike for the quasiparticles states in a single narrow band in the same limit of strong correlations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-28T13:59:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "explicit kondo coupling", "ferromagnetic phase", "heavy-fermion state", "anderson lattice", "general features" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics Condensed Matter", "year": 2012, "month": "May", "volume": 24, "number": 20, "pages": 205602 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JPCM...24t5602H" } } }
