Yb-Al-Au近似晶体和准晶中量子临界的起源

Origin of Quantum Criticality in Yb-Al-Au Approximant Crystal and Quasicrystal

Shinji Watanabe, Kazumasa Miyake

摘要:

为了深入了解准晶体Yb $_{15}$ Al $_{34}$ Au $_{51}$中出现非常规量子临界的机制,对准晶体Yb $_{14}$ Al $_{35}$ Au $_{51}$进行了理论分析.通过建立近似晶体的极小模型,发现由于Yb原子上4f电子的强关联,在费米能级附近出现了重准粒子带.我们发现,在蔡型团簇中,第三壳层Yb的4f电子和第四壳层Al的3 p电子之间的电荷转移模式得到了显著的增强,并且动量依赖性几乎是平坦的。模式耦合理论表明,磁化率和价磁化率在零场极限下表现出$χ\sim T^{-0.5}$,并且即使在近似晶体中,当通过改变参数来满足某些条件时,也可以表示为四十年内温度与磁场之比$T/B$的单一标度函数,例如,通过施加压力。的关键起源是澄清是由于强的局域性的临界Yb-价涨落和小布里渊区反映大的单位电池,从而引起的极小的特征能量尺度。这也给出了一个自然的解释量子临界在准晶对应的无限的单位晶胞尺寸的限制。

英文摘要:

To get insight into the mechanism of emergence of unconventional quantum criticality observed in quasicrystal Yb$_{15}$Al$_{34}$Au$_{51}$, the approximant crystal Yb$_{14}$Al$_{35}$Au$_{51}$ is analyzed theoretically. By constructing a minimal model for the approximant crystal, the heavy quasiparticle band is shown to emerge near the Fermi level because of strong correlation of 4f electrons at Yb. We find that charge-transfer mode between 4f electron at Yb on the 3rd shell and 3p electron at Al on the 4th shell in Tsai-type cluster is considerably enhanced with almost flat momentum dependence. The mode-coupling theory shows that magnetic as well as valence susceptibility exhibits $χ\sim T^{-0.5}$ for zero-field limit and is expressed as a single scaling function of the ratio of temperature to magnetic field $T/B$ over four decades even in the approximant crystal when some condition is satisfied by varying parameters, e.g., by applying pressure. The key origin is clarified to be due to the strong locality of the critical Yb-valence fluctuation and small Brillouin zone reflecting the large unit cell, giving rise to the extremely-small characteristic energy scale. This also gives a natural explanation for the quantum criticality in the quasicrystal corresponding to the infinite limit of the unit-cell size.
