Scaling analysis of a model Hamiltonian for Ce${}^{3+}$ impurity in a cubic metal

Abstract

We introduce various exchange interactions in a model Hamiltonian for Ce${}^{3+}$ ions in cubic symmetry with three configurations ($f^0$,$f^1$,$f^2$). With the impurity pseudo spin $S_I=1/2$, our Hamiltonian includes: (i) One-channel $S_c=1/2$ Anderson model; (ii) Two-channel $S_c=1/2$ Anderson model; (iii) An unforseen one-channel $S_c=3/2$ Anderson model with a non-trivial fixed point; (iv) Mixing exchange interaction between the ${\Gamma }_{6,7}$ and the ${\Gamma }_8$ conduction electron partial wave states; (v) Multiple conduction electron partial wave states. Using the third-order scaling (perturbative renormalization group) analysis, we study stability of various fixed points relevant to various exchange interactions for Ce${}^{3+}$ ions in cubic symmetry.
