AbstractUsing mean field approach, we provide analytical and numerical solution of the symmetric Anderson lattice for arbitrary dimension at half filling. The symmetric Anderson lattice is equivalent to the Kondo lattice, which makes it possible to study the behavior of an electron liquid in the Kondo lattice. We have shown that, due to hybridization (through an effective field due to localized electrons) of electrons with different spins and momenta $$\mathbf{k} $$ k and $$\mathbf{k} +\overrightarrow{\pi }$$ k + π → , the gap in the electron spectrum opens at half filling. Such hybridization breaks the conservation of the total magnetic momentum of electrons, the spontaneous symmetry is broken. The state of electron liquid is characterized by a large Fermi surface. A gap in the spectrum is calculated depending on the magnitude of the on-site Coulomb repulsion and value of s–d hybridization for the chain, as well as for square and cubic lattices. Anomalous behavior of the heat capacity at low temperatures in the gapped state, which is realized in the symmetric Anderson lattice, was also found.

The heat capacities of O2, N2, CO, and NO have been measured in the temperature range from 4.2 °K to about 0.8 °K. No anomalous behavior was found. The results were fitted to the Debye expression (assuming 3 degrees of freedom per molecule) to yield the following values for Θ0: O2, 104.5 ± 1.0 °K; N2, 83.5 ± 1.0 °K; CO, 103.0 ± 1.0 °K; NO, 122 ± 2 °K. The results are discussed in terms of the residual entropies of CO and NO.

The anomalous behavior of alloys containing traces of manganese and similar elements is rapidly reviewed as to electrical conductivity, magnetoresistance, susceptibility, magnetic resonances, thermoelectricity, specific heat, thermal conductivity, and Hall effect. Special reference is given to recent data obtained in Leyden. It is argued that, while the rapid decrease of the resistance sometimes occurring at very low temperatures apparently must be attributed to some kind of antiferromagnetic alignment, the resistance minimum, as well as the anomalies in thermoelectricity and the Hall effect, might be due to gaps at the crystalline boundaries.

ABSTRACTSpin dependent tunneling has been investigated in tunnel junctions composed of a variety of materials. The best results thus far have been with either HfO2 or MgO as the barrier layer using CoFe, Fe, or Co as the magnetic electrodes. The maximum magnetoresistive (MR) response of these junctions has been at low temperatures on the order of 30% in HfO2 and 20% in MgO. We have also observed a variety of anomalous behavior in some of our tunnel junctions at low temperature. These include MR effects dependent on the angle of orientation of the tunnel junction in the applied magnetic field, transition fields greater than lOkOe, and negative MR effects on the order of 2%.

ABSTRACTA review is presented of some of the previously reported differences and similarities between comparable gel glasses (and gels) and ordinary glasses. In this regard, considerations are made with respect to such factors as structure, physical and thermal properties, and phase transformation behavior. A variety of silicate lass compositions are used for illustrative purposes. The discussion is roughly ivided into two sections; low and high temperature behavior. At low temperatures one anticipates that differences between gel and conventional glasses will exist, but such dissimilarities are not expected to persist to high temperatures. However, experimental evidence is presented which indicates the perpetuation of such differences to very high temperatures. A partial resolution for this anomalous behavior is offered.
