Electronic Phases in Crystalline Lanthanide Systems

Electronic Phases in Crystalline Lanthanide Systems Debbas, Maximilien F. Crystalline lanthanide systems are known to realize a multitude of disparate electronic phases arising from lattices of localized f-electrons in the crystal. These phases include magnetic phenomena such as ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism as well as nonmagnetic Fermi liquid phases such as heavy fermion systems. Lanthanide systems can moreover realize exotic phases such as heavy fermion superconductivity, multipolar or
