In condensed matter, a tremendous effort has been generated to realise Kondo lattices both experimentally and theoretically. The pursuit of independent magnetic moments, via charge localization, is paramount for applications in nanotechnology. Particularly, systems with simultaneous charge/spin degrees of freedom can manifest both Kondo spin quenching and Mott-Hubbard charge localization. Experimental frameworks illuminating pathways between the two are physically and technologically significant, and hardly observed in reality. Recent developments in controlling densities/temperatures of strongly correlated impurities on surfaces has opened up new possibilities. Such systems introduce mechanisms to study Kondo/Mott-physics interplay methodically. However, the pathway between Kondo physics and charge localization remains elusive. In this work, we investigate the phase diagram of superlattice structures of f-elements on substrates, assessing required conditions for obtaining Kondo superlattices. We unveil pathways between Kondo quenching and Mott localization, and identify non-trivial charge density waves emerging from the competition of charge localization and Kondo physics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
