Theory for the mixed-valence state

Creators

  • 1. Bell Labs., Murray Hill, NJ (USA)

Description

A theory is presented which explains why mixed-valence compounds behave as two component Fermi liquids, and why TmSe orders magnetically while the other known mixed-valence compounds do not. The variation of Tsub(N) and the field Hsub(T) to obtain ferromagnetic alignment with changing Tm2+/Tm3+ ratio is quantitatively explained. For Tm2+ concentration > = 0.3, TmSe is predicted to order ferromagnetically
