✦ Synopsis


In this work, we study the systematics, at finite temperature, of the formation of local magnetic moments at a Ta impurity diluted in intermetallic Laves phases compounds XFe 2 ðX ¼ Gd; YbÞ. We use an extended two-coupled sublattices Hubbard Hamiltonian, to describe the Laves phases host. The d-d electronic interaction is treated via a functional integral approach in the quasi-static saddle point approximation. Temperature dependent pressure effects are included considering induced electron-phonon interaction which renormalizes the pure electron hybridization. The calculated magnetic hyperfine fields related to the obtained local magnetic moments, are in a quite good agreement with available experimental data.
