Abstract

The appropriate generalization of the isotropic impurity Anderson model for valence fluctuations between two magnetic multiplets ln and ln+1 is solved in the strong-coupling limit of Wilson's renormalization group for l≤ 3. Except in the extreme case of j-j coupling, the ground state is degenerate, the impurity magnetic moment is very small and is overscreened by the conduction electrons. The strong-coupling fixed point turns out to be unstable. Thus, at low enough temperatures the physics of the systems should be governed by an intermediate coupling fixed point and non Fermi-liquid behavior is expected.
