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...
متن کاملQuantum 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 ...
متن کاملHigh-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...
متن کاملGlobal Magnetic Phase Diagram and Local Quantum Criticality in Heavy Fermion Metals
We address the global magnetic phase diagram of Kondo lattice systems. Through the distinct Fermi surface properties of the various phases at zero temperature, we argue that the phase diagram supports two classes of quantum critical point. One of these describes a direct transition from a magnetic metal phase with localized f−electrons to a paramagnetic one with itinerant f−electrons. This resu...
متن کاملField-induced magnetic transition in the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet Ce7Ni3
We present a detailed study of the field ~B! temperature ~T! phase diagram of the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet Ce7Ni3 that crystallizes in the hexagonal Th7Fe3-type structure with three nonequivalent Ce sites (Ce I , Ce II , and Ce III). This compound undergoes two magnetic transitions at TN151.9 K and TN250.7 K in zero field. Below TN1, an incommensurate spin density wave ~SDW! develops, and ...
