Metal-non-metal transition and specific heat of Kondo insulators

The metal-non-metal transition in Kondo insulators of the type (Ce1-xLax)3Bi4Pt3 is studied as a function of the La (Kondo hole) concentration x. We explore the transition under variation of the applied magnetic field, the pressure, and the temperature. The many-body effects are treated by diagonali...
