Abstract

Can the antiferromagnetic (AF) order be induced via the local moments' hybridization with the heavy electrons instead of conduction electrons? We address this intriguingly fundamental question via a prototypical model to describe the interplay between local moments and heavy electrons. We discover that the AF order can be mediated via the heavy electrons through the mechanism of the high-order Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction. Moreover, our analysis employing a slave-spin representation uncovers that the heavy electron band can enhance the RKKY interaction of local moments (despiteits high-order nature) via enlarging its effective mass. The potential relevance to the heavy fermion compound ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}(\mathrm{Pt}/\mathrm{Pd}){\mathrm{In}}_{11}$ is also discussed.
