The microscopic mechanism of the heavy-fermion systems close to anti-ferromagnetic quantum critical point constitutes an outstanding open problem in correlated electron systems. To address this issue, we employ a distinct route from the dynamical mean-field theory by solving the 2D Kondo-Heisenberg model via a dynamical large-N multichannel Schwinger boson approach. We identify the quantum critical point separating the anti-ferromagnetic long-ranged ordered and the heavy Kondo-screened Fermi-liquid phases. Various thermodynamical observables near criticality show non-Fermi liquid behaviors and agree qualitatively well with the experiments seen in CeCu6-xAux and YbRh2Si2.
