Ground states and magnetic responses of model valence-fluctuation systems

Conference ·
Variational ground-state wavefunctions are presented and optimized for two model valence-fluctuation systems, based on Anderson lattice Hamiltonians in the U ..-->.. infinity limit. Although these wavefunctions are approximate, they are treated in an essentially exact manner. The (f/sup 0/,f/sup 1/; n = 1) system has an intuitively reasonable ground-state susceptibility, while the (f/sup 1/,f/sup 2/; n = 2) system is found to exhibit an insulating gap.
