各向异性下的电子相变相变

Electronic nematic phase transition in the presence of anisotropy

Hiroyuki Yamase

摘要:

本文研究了存在xy各向异性时的电子不稳定性相图。虽然在这种情况下不可能发生二级相变,但平均场论预测,在范霍夫填充附近发生一级相变,并且其相边界形成翼结构,我们称之为格里菲斯翼,参考他的He 3-He 4混合物的原始工作。当穿过机翼时,电子系统的各向异性表现出不连续的变化,导致亚稳态转变,即,类似于磁系统中的元磁转变。机翼的上边缘对应于临界端线,其显示作为外部各向异性的函数的非单调温度依赖性,并且在强各向异性的量子临界端点处消失。然而,平均场的相图是,非常敏感的波动的序参量,产生一个拓扑不同的相图。格里菲思的翅膀断成了两截一个微小的机翼出现接近零的各向异性和其他实现了强各向异性。因此,实现了三个量子临界端点。我们讨论了这些结果可以与各种材料,包括冷原子系统。

英文摘要:

We study the phase diagram of electronic nematic instability in the presence of xy anisotropy. While a second order transition cannot occur in this case, mean-field theory predicts that a first order transition occurs near van Hove filling and its phase boundary forms a wing structure, which we term a Griffiths wing, referring to his original work of He3-He4 mixtures. When crossing the wing, the anisotropy of the electronic system exhibits a discontinuous change, leading to a meta-nematic transition, i.e., the analog to a meta-magnetic transition in a magnetic system. The upper edge of the wing corresponds to a critical end line, which shows a non-monotonic temperature dependence as a function of the external anisotropy and vanishes at a quantum critical end point for a strong anisotropy. The mean-field phase diagram is, however, very sensitive to fluctuations of the nematic order parameter, yielding a topologically different phase diagram. The Griffiths wing is broken into two pieces. A tiny wing appears close to zero anisotropy and the other is realized for a strong anisotropy. Consequently three quantum critical end points are realized. We discuss that these results can be related to various materials including a cold atom system.
