Magnetism and Electronic Correlations in Quasi-1D Kondo Lattices*

Reducing dimensionality is a powerful approach to increasing the influence of quantum fluctuations. Not only do quantum fluctuations become stronger in two- and one-dimensions, recent theoretical work using tools from quantum information science (tensor networks, etc.) allow exceedingly accurate studies of correlated electron systems in 1d. With this motivation we investigate quasi-1D 4f and 5f-based metallic compounds possessing non-trivial magnetic order. Using transport and thermodynamics we investigate the electronic and magnetic correlations in these systems and compare with theoretical understanding.
