The Kondo hole is an isolated nonmagnetic impurity in a heavy‐fermion lattice. Experimentally, the Kondo hole can be realized by La or Th atoms replacing a Ce ion in a stoichiometric Ce compound or by Th impurities in a U–heavy‐fermion system. Adding impurities to a Kondo lattice gradually destroys the coherence of the heavy‐fermion ground state. Perturbations of the coherent state are conveniently studied in the f‐electron density of states. We consider a dispersionless orbitally nondegenerate f band locally hybridized with one nearest‐neighbor hopping tight‐binding conduction band on a simple cubic lattice. A hybridization gap opens in the symmetric case, and the Kondo hole introduces a bound state in the gap. We study the effects of the scattering on the local density of f states in the neighborhood of the nonmagnetic impurity. The effects of the correlations within the f band are introduced via a self‐energy, evaluated to second‐order perturbation in U, using the d=∞ treatment of Schweitzer and Czycho...
