We demonstrate that long-range interaction in a system can lead to a very strong interaction between long-wavelength quasiparticles and make them heavily damped. In particular, we discuss magnon spectrum using 1/S expansion in 3D Heisenberg ferromagnet (FM) with arbitrary small dipolar forces at T<<T_C. We obtain that a fraction of long-wavelength magnons with energies e_k<T has anomalously large damping G_k (ratio G_k/e_k reaches 0.3 for certain k). This effect is observed both in quantum and classical FMs. Remarkably, this result contradicts expectation of the quasiparticle concept according which a weakly excited state of a many-body system can be represented as a collection of weakly interacting elementary excitations. Particular materials are pointed out which are suitable for corresponding experiments.

Quasiparticle Breakdown and Spin Hamiltonian of the Frustrated Quantum Pyrochlore Yb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ in Magnetic Field
阻挫烧绿石磁体Yb $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$具有磁性有序的显著性质,但在布里渊区的宽区域上没有传播的磁振子。在这里,我们使用非弹性中子散射,以遵循如何频谱的演变,在垂直轴磁场。在高场,我们观察到除了色散的磁振子也是一个两个磁振子连续,它的强度增加后,减少领域和重叠的一个磁振子状态在中间领域导致强重整化的色散关系,和磁振子衰变。利用热容测量,我们发现低场区和高场区是平滑连接的,没有急剧的相变,自旋能隙随场单调增加。通过拟合到一个广泛的数据集,我们重新评估的自旋哈密顿发现占主导地位的量子交换项,我们建议负责的强烈波动和准粒子击穿效应在低场观察。
Quantum phase transitions in d-wave superconductors
基于在某些铜氧化物超导体中观察到的结状准粒子的强低温阻尼,我们研究了自旋单重态、零动量、费米子双线性序参量的d_{x^2-y^2}超导体的量子相变.我们提出了一个完整的,群论的分类,这种过渡到7个不同的情况下(包括情况下,以100阶)和分析波动的重整化群。我们发现,只有2,到d_{x^2-y^2} +is和d_{x^2-y^2} + i d_{xy}配对的跃迁,具有稳定的不动点和节点准粒子的普遍阻尼;后者使沿着(1,0),(0,1)的带隙准粒子基本上无阻尼.
