Abstract

Abstract A cumulant-expansion theory starting from the atomic limit is presented for intermediate-valence compounds. It is elucidated how the formation of f bands is controlled by dynamical fluctuations of spin and charge. The infrared conductivity calculated is in good agreement with experimental results in CePd 3 .
