Non-Fermi-Liquid Behavior in Itinerant Antiferromagnets

چکیده
016405-1 We consider a two-dimensional itinerant antiferromagnet near a quantum-critical point. We show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, fermionic excitations in the ordered state are not the usual Fermi-liquid quasiparticles. Instead, down to very low frequencies, the fermionic self-energy varies as !2=3. This non-Fermi-liquid behavior originates in the coupling of fermions to the longitudinal spin susceptibility k q; in which the order-induced ‘‘gap’’ in the spectrum at q 0 dissolves into the Landau damping term at vFq > . The transverse spin fluctuations obey the z 1 scaling characteristic of spin waves, but remain overdamped in a finite range near the critical point.

Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior in a Weak Itinerant Ferromagnet MnSi
MnSi is a weak itinerant helimagnet with a relatively low order magnetic moment. Temperature dependance of resistivity shows that it enters non-Fermi liquid state above a critical pressure pc which remains to be understood. The observed partial magnetic order above pc indicates novel metallic state. Here, Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid theories are discussed with the main focus on the temper...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions of magnetic rotons.
Because of weak spin-orbit coupling and broken inversion symmetry the paramagnons of an itinerant, almost ferromagnetic system become magnetic rotons. Using self-consistent Hartree and renormalization group calculations, we study weak fluctuation-driven first-order quantum phase transitions, a quantum tricritical point controlled by anisotropy, and non-Fermi liquid behavior associated with the ...
متن کاملElectrical resistivity across the tricriticality in itinerant ferromagnet
We investigate the discontinuous ferromagnetic phase diagram near tricritical point in UCo1xRuxAl compounds by electrical resistivity measurements. Separation of phases in UCo0.995Ru0.005Al at ambient pressure and in UCo0.990Ru0.010Al at pressure of 0.2 GPa and disappearance of ferromagnetism at 0.4 GPa is confirmed. The exponent of temperature dependence of electrical resistivity implies chang...

We obtain the conditions necessary for the emergence of various low temperature ordered states (local moment antiferromagnetism, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality, and Landau Fermi liquid behavior) in Kondo lattice materials by extending the two-fluid phenomenological theory of heavy electron behavior [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] to incorporate the concept of hybridization effec...
متن کاملEmergent heavy fermion behavior at the Wigner-Mott transition.
We study charge ordering driven by Coulomb interactions on triangular lattices relevant to the Wigner-Mott transition in two dimensions. Dynamical mean-field theory reveals the pinball liquid phase, a charge ordered metallic phase containing quasilocalized (pins) coexisting with itinerant (balls) electrons. Based on an effective periodic Anderson model for this phase, we find an antiferromagnet...
