Effect of disorder on ferromagnetism in the periodic Anderson model within dynamical mean-field theory — •Unjong Yu, Krzysztof Byczuk, and Dieter Vollhardt — Theoretical Physics III, Center for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, Institute for Physics, University of Augsburg, D-86135 Augsburg, Germany

Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has been successfully applied to study of magnetism in strongly correlated systems, especially the Hubbard model [1] and the periodic Anderson model (PAM) [2]. DMFT was also shown to be an adequate tool to investigate the effect of disorder on magnetism in the Hubbard model [3]. In this presentation, we examine the stability of ferromagnetism in the PAM in the presence of binary alloy disorder by using the DMFT together with the quantum Monte-Carlo method. The magnetic phase diagram of the PAM as a function of disorder strength and alloy concentration as well as a carrier density is discussed.
