Spin-dependent Masses in High Magnetic Field: Minimal Model for CeCoIn5 — •Andrzej P.

The intertwinement of superconductivity [1] and magnetism [2] in CeCoIn5 is an arduous problem, often approached by accurate but time-consuming methods like Dynamical Mean-Field Theory [3]. In contrast, we provide a minimal, two-dimensional (after [4]), model to understand the mechanism of spin-split masses in this heavy-fermion system. Using the band Hubbard U technique (DFT+U calculations), we retrieve the precise energy scale for the strong correlations. To account for this we use a minimal model of the Periodic Anderson Lattice solved using the so-called Statistically-consistent Gutzwiller Approximation. We obtain the proper, experimentally confirmed, qualitative behavior of the spin-dependent masses, as well as overall half-metallic nature of the heavy fermion behavior in this compound.
