The goal of our project is to jointly develop new experimental, computational and theoretical methods to study complex emergent phenomena in correlated electronic systems. We will focus on the rare-earth hexaborides, which display complex competing phases that are of great present interest to the community, including competing ground states and quantum criticality. Our interest lies in exploring the role of the 4f hybridization in the properties of the compound. We propose a systematic study across the 4f series as well as some selected doping studies. The methodology will incorporate a full range of scientific inquiry, i.e. state of the art characterization and spectroscopy, high-performance computation and theory. Our focus on spectroscopy will furthermore enable us to observe and possibly disentangle the different energy scales present in the f-shell and their influence on the physical properties in this series. The successful completion of the project might lead to a better understanding of the REB6 in particular and correlated systems in general. It furthermore might provide a quantitative, material-specific description of f-electron compounds with its vast array of ground states from heavy Fermion paramagnetic to magnetic and orbital order.

我们项目的目标是共同开发新的实验，计算和理论方法来研究相关电子系统中的复杂涌现现象。我们将集中在稀土六硼化物，它显示了复杂的竞争阶段，是目前社会的极大兴趣，包括竞争的基态和量子临界。我们的兴趣在于探索4f杂化在化合物性质中的作用。我们提出了一个系统的研究，在4f系列以及一些选定的兴奋剂研究。该方法将纳入全方位的科学研究，即最先进的表征和光谱学，高性能计算和理论。我们对光谱学的关注将使我们能够观察并可能解开f壳层中存在的不同能量尺度及其对该系列物理性质的影响。该项目的成功完成可能会导致更好地理解REB 6，特别是相关系统。此外，它可能提供一个定量的，具体的材料描述f-电子化合物与其大量的基态从重费米子顺磁性和轨道秩序。
