Gate-tunable heavy fermion quantum criticality in a moiré Kondo lattice

نویسندگان

چکیده

We propose a realization of Kondo-lattice physics in moir\'e superlattices at the interface between WX$_2$ homobilayer and MoX$_2$ monolayer (where X=S,Se). Under appropriate gating conditions, interface-WX$_2$-layer forms triangular lattice local moments that couple to itinerant electrons other WX$_2$-layer via gate-tunable Kondo exchange interaction. Using parton mean-field approach we identify range twist-angles which support gate-tuned quantum phase transition heavy-fermion liquid with large anomalous Hall conductance fractionalized chiral spin-liquid coexisting light Fermi liquid, describe experimental signatures distinguish among competing theoretical scenarios.

Heavy fermion quantum criticality.

During the last few years, investigations of rare-earth materials have made clear that heavy fermion quantum criticality exhibits novel physics not fully understood. In this work, we write for the first time the effective action describing the low energy physics of the system. The f fermions are replaced by a dynamical scalar field whose nonzero expected value corresponds to the heavy fermion p...

Heavy-fermion quantum criticality and destruction of the Kondo effect in a nickel oxypnictide.

A quantum critical point arises at a continuous transformation between distinct phases of matter at zero temperature. Studies in antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion materials have revealed that quantum criticality has several classes, with an unconventional type that involves a critical destruction of the Kondo entanglement. To understand such varieties, it is important to extend the materials basi...

Heavy fermion properties of the Kondo Lattice model

We study the S = 1/2 Kondo lattice model which is widely used to describe heavy fermion behavior. In conventional treatments of the model the Kondo interaction is decoupled in favour of a hybridization of conduction and localized f electrons. However, such an approximation breaks the local gauge symmetry and implicates that the local f-occupation is no longer conserved. To avoid these problems,...

Quantum criticality in the cubic heavy-fermion system CeIn3-xSnx.

We report a comprehensive study of CeIn3-xSnx (0.55<or=x< or=0.8) single crystals close to the antiferromagnetic quantum-critical point (QCP) at xc approximately 0.37 by means of the low-temperature thermal expansion and Grüneisen parameter. This system represents the first example for a cubic heavy fermion in which TN can be suppressed continuously down to T=0. A characteristic sign change of ...

High-temperature signatures of quantum criticality in heavy-fermion systems.

We propose a new criterion for distinguishing the Hertz-Millis (HM) and the local quantum critical (LQC) mechanism in heavy-fermion systems with a magnetic quantum phase transition (QPT). The criterion is based on our finding that the complete spin screening of Kondo ions can be suppressed by the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) coupling to the surrounding magnetic ions even without magneti...
