Metallic spin-liquid behavior of the geometrically frustrated Kondo lattice.

چکیده
Strongly frustrated magnetism of the metallic pyrochlore oxide Pr2Ir2O7 has been revealed by single crystal study. While Pr 4f moments have an antiferromagnetic RKKY interaction energy scale of /T*/ = 20 K mediated by Ir 5d-conduction electrons, no magnetic long-range order is found except for partial spin freezing at 120 mK. Instead, the Kondo effect, including a lnT dependence in the resistivity, emerges and leads to a partial screening of the moments below /T*/. Our results indicate that the underscreened moments show spin-liquid behavior below a renormalized correlation scale of 1.7 K.

Heavy-fermion and spin-liquid behavior in a Kondo lattice with magnetic frustration
– We study the competition between the Kondo effect and frustrating exchange interactions in a Kondo-lattice model within a large-N dynamical mean-field theory. We find a T = 0 phase transition between a heavy Fermi-liquid and a spin-liquid for a critical value of the exchange Jc = T 0 K , the single-impurity Kondo temperature. Close to the critical point, the Fermi liquid coherence scale T ⋆ i...

It is a common knowledge that the formation of electron pairs is a necessary ingredient of any theoretical work describing superconductivity. Thus, finding the mechanism of the formation of the electron pairs is of utmost importance. There are some experiments on high transition temperature superconductors which support the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions as the pairing mechanism (ARPES),...

We give an overview of recent work on charge degrees of freedom of strongly correlated electrons on geometrically frustrated lattices. Special attention is paid to the checkerboard lattice, i.e., the two-dimensional version of a pyrochlore lattice and to the kagomé lattice. For the checkerboard lattice it is shown that at half filling when spin degrees of freedom are neglected and at quarter f...
متن کاملBosonization approach to the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model
The one-dimensional Kondo lattice model is investigated by using bosonization techniques and conformal field theory. In the half-filled band, the charge and spin gaps open for the anti-ferromagnetic Kondo coupling. Away from half-filling, the paramagnetic metallic state is characterized by the fixed point of TomonagaLuttinger liquid with the large Fermi surface in accordance with known results....
متن کاملA continuum of compass spinmodels on the honeycomb lattice
Quantum spinmodels with spatially dependent interactions, known as compassmodels, play an important role in the study of frustrated quantummagnetism.One example is theKitaevmodel on the honeycomb lattice with spin-liquid (SL) ground states and anyonic excitations. Another example is the geometrically frustrated quantum120°model on the same lattice whose ground state has not been unambiguously e...
