Abstract

The half-filled Kondo lattice model is studied at low temperatures on a simple cubic lattice using the self-consistent theory developed by Ram and Kumar [Phys. Rev. B 96, 075115 (2017)]. It is found to have three distinct insulating phases in the temperature-hopping plane, namely, the strong-coupling Kondo singlet (KS) phase, the inverted Kondo singlet (iKS) phase distinguished from the KS by inversion, and the antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase. The quasiparticle density of states across the inversion transition is noted to exhibit a dimensional reduction, which can differentiate between the KS and iKS insulators in experiments. Magnetic quantum oscillations obtained in the iKS and AFM phases are found to show a Lifshitz-Kosevich-like behavior with temperature as well as quantum fluctuations induced by the Kondo interaction.
