洁净Dirac金属中的磁量子相变

Magnetic Quantum Phase Transitions in a Clean Dirac Metal

D. Belitz, T. R. Kirkpatrick

摘要:

我们考虑清洁狄拉克金属的线性带交叉是由一个强大的自旋轨道相互作用,并研究从顺磁相到各种磁相,包括均匀铁磁体,亚铁磁体,倾斜铁磁体,和磁性向列相的量子相变。我们表明,在所有这些情况下,耦合的费米子软模式的序参量一般呈现量子相变一阶,与某些无隙狄拉克系统提供了一个可能的例外。这些结果是令人惊讶的,因为一个强大的自旋轨道散射抑制机制,导致在普通金属的一级转变。强调了手性在产生一阶跃迁的新机制中的重要作用。

英文摘要:

We consider clean Dirac metals where the linear band crossing is caused by a strong spin-orbit interaction, and study the quantum phase transitions from the paramagnetic phase to various magnetic phases, including homogeneous ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, canted ferromagnets, and magnetic nematics. We show that in all of these cases the coupling of fermionic soft modes to the order parameter generically renders the quantum phase transition first order, with certain gapless Dirac systems providing a possible exception. These results are surprising since a strong spin-orbit scattering suppresses the mechanism that causes the first order transition in ordinary metals. The important role of chirality in generating a new mechanism for a first-order transition is stressed.
