Abstract We investigate a modified Anderson model at the large-N limit, where the Coulomb interaction is replaced by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev random interaction. The resistivity of conduction electron ρ c has a minimum value around temperature , which is similar to the Kondo system, but the impurity electron's density of state A d(ω) demonstrates no sharp-peak like the Kondo resonance around the Fermi surface. This provides a counterintuitive example where resistivity minimum exists without Kondo resonance. The impurity electron's entropy S d and specific heat capacity show a crossover from Fermi liquid to a non-Fermi liquid behavior dependent on temperature. The system is a Fermi liquid at and becomes a non-Fermi liquid at , and then becomes a Fermi gas at sufficiently high temperatures . The non-Fermi liquid at the intermediate-T regime does not occur in the standard Anderson model. We also make a renormalization group analysis, which confirms the crossover from Fermi liquid to the non-Fermi behavior. It is emphasized that the resistivity minimum emerges in our model when the system behaves as a non-Fermi liquid rather than Fermi liquid, which provides an alternative example showing resistivity minimum in condensed matter physics.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
