Partial localization, dual nature of 5f electrons and heavy fermions in U compounds — •G. Zwicknagl — Institut fuer Mathematische Physik, TU Braunschweig, D-38106 Braunschweig

There is growing evidence that actinide ions may have localized as well as delocalized 5f electrons. These observations form the basis of the dual model which provides a microscopic theory for the heavy quasiparticles in U compounds. In the present talk, I shall present results for the Fermi surface and effective masses in U-based heavy fermion compounds. In addition, I shall show how the dual character of the 5f electrons may arise from the interplay between (effective) hopping and Hund’s rule correlations.
