The role of bandstructure in the thermodynamic properties of itinerant metamagnets

A. M. Berridge

摘要:

已知巡游变磁跃迁可以由电子态密度中的特征驱动。我们研究了各种不同情况下熵和比热的这些转变的签名,确定了不同于天真预期的关键特征,如增强的临界场和非费米液体温度依赖性。我们从一般的情况下,一个grammically发散的状态密度,所造成的二维范霍夫奇点。然后,我们研究了Sr3Ru2O7的能带结构的一个特定的模型,该材料具有研究充分的变磁过渡和量子临界端点。我们考虑到系统的行为在多大程度上可以用态密度而不是量子涨落来解释,以及这种机制的独特特征。Sr3Ru2O7的特征之一是一个不寻常的相具有较高的熵比它的周围环境,我们认为这可能会出现在一个密度的状态图片的上下文中,并发现,我们可以重现的热力学行为和一阶相变。

英文摘要:

It is known that itinerant metamagnetic transitions can be driven by features in the electronic density of states. We study the signatures of these transitions in the entropy and specific heat for a variety of different cases, identifying the key features which differ from naive expectations, such as enhanced critical fields and non-Fermi liquid temperature dependencies. We begin with the generic case of a logarithmically divergent density of states, as caused by a two dimensional van Hove singularity. We then study a specific model for the bandstructure of Sr3Ru2O7, a material with a well-studied metamagnetic transition and quantum critical endpoint. We consider how far the behaviour of the system can be explained by the density of states rather than quantum fluctuations, and the distinctive features of this mechanism. One of the characteristic features of Sr3Ru2O7 is an unusual phase with a higher entropy than its surroundings, we consider how this may arise in the context of a density of states picture and find that we can reproduce the thermodynamic behaviour and first-order phase transitions.
