Abstract

We present a two-fluid description of the Kondo lattice that is based on an analysis of CeCoIn5 at various levels of dilution with La. We show that thermal and transport measurements provide evidence for the survival of the Kondo impurity component in the lattice as T0K, and that the evolution of the low temperature properties of the Kondo lattice can be viewed as the partial condensation of the lattice of Kondo centers into a heavy fermion fluid. The resulting two-fluid model is shown to be applicable to the general problem of the ground state of the Kondo lattice.
