Magnetic Field Effect on Crossover Temperature from Non-Fermi Liquid to Fermi Liquid Behavior in f^2-Impurity Systems with Crystalline-Electric-Field Singlet State Competing with Kondo-Yosida Singlet State

摘要:

我们研究了f^2组态系统的物理性质与磁场的关系,该系统具有一个晶体电场(CEF)单重态基态,由于Kondo-Yosida单重态和CEF单重态之间的竞争而产生一个非费米液体(NFL)不动点.基于数值重整化群方法,我们发现磁场通过两种机制打破了这个NFL不动点:一种机制导致f电子的极化,另一种机制导致“沟道”各向异性.这两种机制导致特征温度T_F^{*}(H)(从NFL到费米液体行为的交叉温度)的磁场依赖性的差异。f电子的极化给出T_F^{*}(H)\propto H^x(x \sim 2.0),而“沟道”各向异性给出H无关的T_F^{*}(H)。这两种机制在交叉磁场H_c附近连续交叉,在此出现T_F^{*}(H)的反常H依赖性。这样的T_F^{*}(H)很好地再现了在Th_{1-x} U_xRu_2Si_2中观察到的NFL行为。我们还发现这种材料的电阻率和磁化率的H依赖性与实验结果吻合得很好。这些结果表明,在Th_{1-x} U_xRu_2Si_2中观察到的NFL行为可以理解,如果这种材料位于两个单重态之间的临界相边界附近的CEF单重态一侧。

英文摘要:

We investigate the magnetic field dependence of the physical properties of f^2-configuration systems with a crystalline-electric field (CEF) singlet ground state, which gives rise to a non- Fermi liquid (NFL) fixed point due to the competition between the Kondo-Yosida singlet and CEF singlet states. On the basis of the numerical renormalization group method, we find that the magnetic field breaks this NFL fixed point via two mechanisms: one causing the polarization of f-electrons and the other giving the "channel" anisotropy. These two mechanisms induce a difference in the magnetic field dependence of the characteristic temperature T_F^{*}(H), the crossover temperature from NFL to Fermi-liquid behavior. While the polarization of f-electrons gives T_F^{*}(H) \propto H^x (x\sim2.0), the "channel" anisotropy gives the H-independent T_F^{*}(H). These two mechanisms cross over continuously at approximately the crossover magnetic field H_c, where an anomalous H-dependence of T_F^{*}(H) appears. Such T_F^{*}(H) well reproduces the NFL behaviors observed in Th_{1-x}U_xRu_2Si_2. We also find that the H-dependence of the resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility are in good agreement with the experimental results of this material. These results suggest that the NFL behaviors observed in Th_{1-x}U_xRu_2Si_2 can be understood if this material is located in the CEF singlet side near the critical phase boundary between the two singlet states.
