DYNAMICS OF VALENCE-FLUCTUATING Tm IMPURITIES

Abstract
A new formalism is presented for describing valence fluctuating Tm impurities. Starting from the selfconsistent perturbation scheme valid at arbitrary temperatures, the present formalism incorporates not only the valence fluctuation between 4f12and 4f13, but also the coupled 4f13 and a conduction electron scattering channel through T-matrix, the latter yielding a singlet ground state at low temperatures. Contribution of this channel to the f-electron spectral function is also discussed.
