Fig. 5

The schematic Fermi surface is from theoretical calculations in ref. 23. The hatched balls signify Kondo entanglement of f (blue) and conduction (red) electrons. Above incoherent Kondo scale \({T}_{K}^{on}\), the f electrons are fully localized, and only light-mass cylindrical sheets from Co/Ga orbitals are present along Γ-Y. For \({T}^{* } < T < {T}_{K}^{on}\), the c-f hybridization is incoherent. Below coherent Kondo scale T*, Kondo coherence sets in, two fluids coexist, and fluctuating new flat sheets with heavy mass start to appear. Well below T*, coherent heavy-electron state is stabilized. The right-column panels are simulations based on this hypothesis. The simulations are made with the parameters Δσc = 0.10, and Δσh = −0.04. Temperature dependent w(T) and a4 are employed to characterize the weight of transport conductivity contributed by the heavy fermion quasiparticles and the four-fold oscillation mode: a w = 0.0 and a4 = 0.0 for \(T > {T}_{K}^{on}\); b w = 0.0 and a4 = − 1.0 for \({T}^{* } < T < {T}_{K}^{on}\); c w = 0.7 and a4 = − 0.3 for T < T*; and d w = 1.0 and a4 = 0.0 for well below T*. The color bars signify the values of \({\rho }_{xz}^{{{{\rm{PHE}}}}}(\varphi )\).
