It has been suggested recently by Gan, Coleman, and Andrei that studying the underscreened Kondo problem may help to understand the nature of magnetism in heavy fermion systems. Motivated by Doniach’s work on the S=1/2 Kondo necklace, we introduce the underscreened Kondo necklace models with S>1/2. The underscreened Kondo necklace is the simplest lattice model on which the competition between Kondo spin compensation, and magnetic ordering due to an RKKY-type interaction can be examined. We used the mean-field approximation to determine the phase diagram, and found that the low-temperature phase is always an x−y antiferromagnet. This contention is further supported by the derivation of the exact form of the effective Hamiltonian in the limit of very large Kondo coupling: it is found to be an antiferromagnetic x−y model for the residual S−1/2 spins. In general, the degree of moment compensation depends on both the Kondo coupling, and on S.

Abstract The first-principles studies have been performed for the electronic and magnetic properties of DyFe_4Ge_2 alloys near the P 4_2/ mmm – Cmmm phase transition. The calculations are carried out in a local spin density approximation taking into account the Coulomb interaction within the limit of strong localization in a mean field approximation. The electronic and magnetic properties of the tetragonal structure are shown to be weakly changed in the dependence on the Coulomb and exchange interactions and also on the choice of the approximations. In the case of the orthorhombic structure, a change in the parameters of the Coulomb and exchange interactions leads to a change in the magnetic ordering: from the ferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic in the strong localization limit and from the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic in the mean field approximation.

The combined effect of an imposed rotation and magnetic field on convective transfer in a horizontal Boussinesq layer of fluid heated from below is studied in the mean field approximation. The basic equations are derived by a variational technique and their solutions are then found over a wide range of conditions, in the case of free boundaries, by numerical and analytic techniques, in particular by asymptotic and perturbation methods. The results obtained by the different techniques are shown to be in excellent agreement. As for the linear theory, the calculations predict that the simultaneous presence' of a magnetic field and rotation may produce conflicting tendencies.

We use the linear sigma model coupled to quarks to compute the effective potential beyond the mean field approximation, including the contribution of the ring diagrams at finite temperature and baryon density. We determine the model couplings and use them to study the phase diagram in the baryon chemical potential-temperature plane and to locate the Critical End Point.

Magnetic instability in gapless superconductors still remains as a puzzle. In this article, we point out that the instability might be caused by using BCS theory in mean-field approximation, where the phase fluctuation has been neglected. The mean-field BCS theory describes very well the strongly coherent or rigid superconducting state. With the increase of mismatch between the Fermi surfaces of pairing fermions, the phase fluctuation plays more and more important role, and "soften" the superconductor. The strong phase fluctuation will eventually quantum disorder the superconducting state, and turn the system into a phase-decoherent pseudogap state.

Quantum condensates in nuclear matter are treated beyond the mean-field approximation, with the inclusion of cluster formation. The occurrence of a separate binding pole in the four-particle propagator in nuclear matter is investigated with respect to the formation of a condensate of α-like particles (quartetting), which is dependent on temperature and density. Due to Pauli blocking, the formation of an α-like condensate is limited to the low-density region. Consequences for finite nuclei are considered. In particular, excitations of self-conjugate 2n-Z–2n-N nuclei near the n-α-breakup threshold are candidates for quartetting. We review some results and discuss their consequences. Exploratory calculations are performed for the density dependence of the α condensate fraction at zero temperature to address the suppression of the four-particle condensate below nuclear-matter density.
