Abstract

We use a functional-integral representation for the Hubbard model to describe the formation of local moments and their magnetic correlations. In the absence of long-range magnetic order, the presence of well-established local moments alone is sufficient to produce a gap in the electronic spectrum. The local moments are treated within a coherent-potential approximation, and we apply an embedded-cluster method to incorporate their interactions.
