We have investigated how the behavior of a transition shell atomic species (species A) with orbital magnetism, driven by hybridization-mediated interactions via a sea of band electrons, is modified by the addition of a second parasite hybridizer (species B). Our approach involves a two-stage procedure. First, we calculate the modification of the band electron sea by hybridization with B by using a slave boson formalism. Second, the modifications in the A-A interionic interactions driving the orbital magnetic ordering are calculated by applying a Schrieffer–Wolff transformation on the renormalized Anderson lattice hamiltonian obtained from the first stage. The new A-A interactions have a different radial dependence (range factor) which depends in a nonlinear way on the band-B hybridization strength: and the consequences of this change on the magnetic ordering are studied using a mean-field approximation. This enables us to model the reduction in the magnetic ordering caused by competing parasite hybridization, and the dependence of this reduction on the relative hybridization strengths of the two species.
