Quantum criticality in Yb(Rh0.97Co0.03)2Si2 probed by low-temperature resistivity
Quantum criticality in Yb(Rh0.97Co0.03)2Si2 is investigated by means of resistivity and magnetoresistance. The partial substitution of Co leads to a stabilization of the magnetism as expected according to the application of chemical pressure for Yb systems. However, the signature of the Kondo-breakdown remains at the same position in the temperature-magnetic eld phase diagram compared to stoich...
متن کاملDivergence of the Grüneisen Parameter and Magnetocaloric Effect at Heavy Fermion Quantum Critical Points
At any pressure sensitive quantum critical point (QCP) the thermal expansion is more singular than the specific heat leading to a divergence of the Grüneisen parameter. For a magnetic field sensitive QCP, the complementary property is the magnetic Grüneisen ratio which equals the magnetocaloric effect. Here we use both properties to investigate magnetic QCPs in different heavy fermion (HF) meta...
متن کاملQuantum criticality of bosonic systems with the Lifshitz dispersion
We study a novel type of quantum criticality of the Lifshitz φ4 theory below the upper critical dimension du = z+ dc = 8, where the dynamic critical exponent z = 4 and the spatial upper critical dimension dc = 4. Two fixed points, one Gaussian and the other non-Gaussian, are identified with zero and finite interaction strengths, respectively. At zero temperature the particle density exhibits di...
متن کاملDiagnosis of quantum criticality by nuclear spin-echo decay method
The Gaussian spin–spin relaxation time T2G, as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-echo decay measurements, is found to be useful for diagnosis of quantum critical behaviour in heavy-fermion systems. Combining T2G with the spin–lattice relaxation time T1, the exponent f of the quantity T1T=T 2 2G T is predicted to be sensitive to the type of quantum criticality in the system con...
متن کاملThermodynamics and quantum criticality in cuprate superconductors
We will present elementary scaling arguments focused on the thermodynamics in the proximity of the quantum critical point in the cuprate superconductors. Extending the analysis centered on the Grüneisen parameter by Rosch, Si, and co-workers to the cuprates, we demonstrate that a combination of specific-heat and chemical potential measurements can reveal the nature of the zero temperature singu...
