Abrupt change in hybridization gap at the valence transition of YbInCu_{4}
The valence transition of 4f electron states in rare-earth compounds is accompanied by a discontinuous change in the Kondo temperature, an energy scale tied to the interaction of the 4f states with the conduction-band states (c-f hybridization). The c-f hybridization causes the formation of heavy qu...
