核自旋对磁量子临界性的限制

Limits to magnetic quantum criticality from nuclear spins

Heike Eisenlohr, Matthias Vojta

摘要:

量子相变的现象学涉及低温和低能量下的物理学,相应的固态实验通常达到毫开尔文温度。然而,这是一个尺度,在许多固体中,核自旋及其超精细相互作用的影响不再可以忽略不计。这可能会限制电子量子临界现象的可观测性。在这里,我们讨论如何连续的磁量子相变得到的影响,修改,或破坏的耦合到核自旋。我们使用简单的磁量子临界的范例自旋模型,并确定修改的相图,激发光谱,和热力学由于核自旋的存在。我们估计交叉尺度下,纯粹的电子量子临界不再是可观察的,并讨论了新的物理出现在低温下。我们的研究结果是相关的各种化合物显示磁量子相变,更一般地说,突出量子临界系统的敏感性小扰动。

英文摘要:

The phenomenology of quantum phase transitions concerns physics at low temperatures and energies, and corresponding solid-state experiments often reach millikelvin temperatures. However, this is a scale where in many solids the influence of nuclear spins and their hyperfine interaction is no longer negligible. This may limit the observability of electronic quantum critical phenomena. Here we discuss how continuous magnetic quantum phase transitions get influenced, modified, or destroyed by the coupling to nuclear spins. We use simple yet paradigmatic spin models for magnetic quantum criticality and determine modifications to the phase diagram, the excitation spectrum, and thermodynamics due to the presence of nuclear spins. We estimate crossover scales below which purely electronic quantum criticality is no longer observable, and discuss the novel physics emerging at low temperatures. Our results are relevant for a variety of compounds displaying magnetic quantum phase transitions and, more generally, highlight the sensitivity of quantum critical systems to small perturbations.
