Piers Coleman studies strongly interacting electrons, particularly heavy fermions and the Kondo lattice. In these materials, coupling between mobile electrons and local magnetic moments can produce coherent low-energy quasiparticles with a very large effective mass. His theoretical exposition connects the screening of one magnetic moment in the Kondo effect with collective behavior in a lattice of such moments. The competition with magnetic interactions helps organize questions about magnetism, superconductivity and the breakdown of the heavy-electron state.[ref]
