非常规量子临界性作为过渡金属化合物、重费米子系统和有机导体的新共同语言出现

Unconventional quantum criticality emerging as a new common language of transition-metal compounds, heavy-fermion systems, and organic conductors

摘要:

我们分析和概述了几种不同的非常规量子临界。非常规性的一个起源是接近一阶转变。一阶跃迁和连续跃迁之间的边界由量子三临界点(QTCP)描述。与传统的量子临界点(QCP)相比,其特征之一是伴随的序参量发散和均匀涨落。几个令人困惑的非费米液体属性被称为占的情况下,YbRh 2Si 2,CeRu 2Si 2和β-YbAlB 4。另一个更戏剧性的非常规性出现在这种情况下的拓扑转变,如金属-绝缘体和Lifshitz转变。这个边界,边际量子临界点(MQCP),属于一个前所未有的普适类发散均匀波动在零温度。MQCP具有一个独特的特征,即破密性和拓扑转换的组合特征。V2-xCrxO 3和有机导体kappa-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl的实验结果支持了理论结果。识别拓扑转变也揭示了非费米液体如何在金属中作为一个相出现。该理论还解释了ZrZn 2中变磁性转变的临界性,将其解释为Lifshitz转变和相关效应的相互作用。我们在这些例子中讨论了共同的基础物理。

英文摘要:

We analyze and overview several different unconventional quantum criticalities. One origin of the unconventionality is the proximity to first-order transitions. The border between the first-order and continuous transitions is described by a quantum tricritical point (QTCP) for symmetry-breaking transitions. One of the characteristic features is the concomitant divergence of order-parameter and uniform fluctuations in contrast to the conventional quantum critical point (QCP). Several puzzling non-Fermi-liquid properties are referred to be accounted for as in the cases of YbRh2Si2, CeRu2Si2 and beta-YbAlB4. Another more dramatic unconventionality appears in this case for topological transitions such as metal-insulator and Lifshitz transitions. This border, the marginal quantum critical point (MQCP), belongs to an unprecedented universality class with diverging uniform fluctuations at zero temperature. The MQCP has a unique feature by a combined character of symmetry-breaking and topological transitions. The theoretical results are supported by experimental indications for V2-xCrxO3 and an organic conductor kappa-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl. Identifying topological transitions also reveals how non-Fermi liquid appears as a phase in metals. The theory also accounts for the criticality of a metamagnetic transition in ZrZn2, by interpreting it as an interplay of Lifshitz transition and correlation effects. We discuss common underlying physics in these examples.
