Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 227203 (2007) [4 pages]Magnetic Quantum Phase Transition in an Anisotropic Kondo LatticeReceived 24 July 2006; published 27 November 2007 The quantum phase transition between paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of the Kondo lattice model with Ising anisotropy in the intersite exchange is studied within extended dynamical mean-field theory. Nonperturbative numerical solutions at zero temperature point to a continuous transition for both two- and three-dimensional magnetism. In the former case, the transition is associated with critical local physics, characterized by a vanishing Kondo scale and by an anomalous exponent in the dynamics close in value to that measured in heavy-fermion CeCu5.9Au0.1. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
