磁性重费米子的量子临界性和整体Phase Diagram

Quantum Criticality and Global Phase Diagram of Magnetic Heavy Fermions

Qimiao Si

摘要:

量子临界性描述了物质在零温度下经历二级相变的集体波动。在许多强关联电子系统中讨论了它。一个原型的情况下发生在重费米子金属,其中反铁磁量子临界点已被明确观察到。在这里,我解决两种类型的反铁磁量子临界点。除了基于反铁磁序涨落的标准描述外,还考虑了局域量子临界点。它包含与近藤效应的临界击穿相关的固有量子模式。在这样一个量子临界点上,一个大的费米面突然坍缩成一个小的费米面。我还考虑了近似的反铁磁和顺磁相,这些考虑导致了一个全球相图。最后,我讨论了反铁磁重费米子的相关实验,简要介绍了铁磁重费米子的情况,并概述了未来的研究方向。

英文摘要:

Quantum criticality describes the collective fluctuations of matter undergoing a second-order phase transition at zero temperature. It is being discussed in a number of strongly correlated electron systems. A prototype case occurs in the heavy fermion metals, in which antiferromagnetic quantum critical points have been explicitly observed. Here, I address two types of antiferromagnetic quantum critical points. In addition to the standard description based on the fluctuations of the antiferromagnetic order, a local quantum critical point is also considered. It contains inherently quantum modes that are associated with a critical breakdown of the Kondo effect. Across such a quantum critical point, there is a sudden collapse of a large Fermi surface to a small one. I also consider the proximate antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases, and these considerations lead to a global phase diagram. Finally, I discuss the pertinent experiments on the antiferromagnetic heavy fermions, briefly address the case of ferromagnetic heavy fermions, and outline some directions for future studies.
