Abstract
Based on the Anderson lattice mode1 in the slave boson formalism, we study the effect of fluctuations around the saddle-point approximation on the thermodynamic properties for mixed valence lattice systems. The fluctuation component of slave boson field is explicitly introduced and its interactions with electrons are studied. By using the Green's function technique we obtain modified self-consistent equations of mean-field parameters and free energy. The fluctuation correction to the pseudophase transition temperature is obtained, and the validity of the mean-field approximation is examined. In the limit of low energy and small momentum transfer, a fluctuation correction to the specific heat proportional to at low temperature is extracted. The chemical potential shift is also studied. In order to describe the thermodynamic properties correctly, it is important to determine the chemical potential shift properly.
