非平凡不动点与截断SU(4)Kondo模型在准四极量子杂质问题中的应用

Non-Trivial Fixed Points and Truncated SU(4) Kondo Models in a Quasi-Quartet Multipolar Quantum Impurity Problem

摘要:

多极近藤问题,其中的量子杂质进行高阶多极矩,已经看到最近的理论和实验的兴趣,由于新的非费米液体状态的建议和各种材料平台的可用性。局部矩的多极性质,结合约束晶体场对称性,导致大量可能的相互作用和由此产生的非费米液体基态。以前的近藤物理学工作通常集中在具有两个简并内部状态的杂质上。在这项工作中,最近的实验的四重态材料YbRu $_{2}$ Ge $_{2}$,这已被证明表现出一个准四重简并基态的本地时刻的启发,我们考虑这样的准四重态多极杂质的近藤效应。在四极晶场环境中,局部磁矩支持偶极、四极和八极磁矩,它们与处于纠缠自旋和轨道状态的传导电子相互作用。利用重整化群分析,我们发现了一系列具有非平凡不动点的量子基态。结果表明,这些以前未确定的固定点是由截断SU(4)Kondo模型,其中只有一些SU(4)生成元(代表杂质自由度)耦合到传导电子。这种新颖的非平凡的不动点是唯一的准四重多极杂质,加强了这样的想法,一个未探索的丰富多样性的现象可能产生的多极量子杂质系统。

英文摘要:

The multipolar Kondo problem, wherein the quantum impurity carries higher-rank multipolar moments, has seen recent theoretical and experimental interest due to proposals of novel non-Fermi liquid states and the availability of a variety of material platforms. The multipolar nature of local moments, in conjunction with constraining crystal field symmetries, leads to a vast array of possible interactions and resulting non-Fermi liquid ground states. Previous works on Kondo physics have typically focussed on impurities that have two degenerate internal states. In this work, inspired by recent experiments on the tetragonal material YbRu$_{2}$Ge$_{2}$, which has been shown to exhibit a local moment with a quasi-fourfold degenerate ground state, we consider the Kondo effect for such a quasi-quartet multipolar impurity. In the tetragonal crystal field environment, the local moment supports dipolar, quadrupolar, and octupolar moments, which interact with conduction electrons in entangled spin and orbital states. Using renormalization group analysis, we uncover a number of emergent quantum ground states characterized by non-trivial fixed points. It is shown that these previously unidentified fixed points are described by truncated SU(4) Kondo models, where only some of the SU(4) generators (representing the impurity degrees of freedom) are coupled to conduction electrons. Such novel non-trivial fixed points are unique to the quasi-quartet multipolar impurity, reinforcing the idea that an unexplored rich diversity of phenomena may be produced by multipolar quantum impurity systems.
