Thermal Conductivity through the Quantum Critical Point in YbRh_{2}Si_{2} at Very Low Temperature.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal conductivity of YbRh_{2}Si_{2} has been measured down to very low temperatures under field in the basal plane. An additional channel for heat transport appears below 30 mK, both in the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic states, respectively, below and above the critical field suppressing the magnetic order. This excludes antiferromagnetic magnons as the origin of this additional contribution to thermal conductivity. Moreover, this low temperature contribution prevails a definite conclusion on the validity or violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law at the field-induced quantum critical point.

Solid-state energy conversion technologies such as thermoelectric refrigeration and power generation require materials with low thermal conductivity yet high electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficiency. Although semiconductors are the best thermoelectric materials, they rarely have the such features. Nanostructures such as superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots provide novel method...

We study electric, thermal, and thermoelectric conductivities in the vicinity of a z = 2 superconductor-diffusive metal transition in two dimensions, both in the high and low frequency limits. We find violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law and a dc thermoelectric conductivity α that does not vanish at low temperatures, in contrast to Fermi liquids. We introduce a Langevin equation formalism to st...

Some 15 years after the discovery of the cuprate superconductors, many tantalizing puzzles remain, particularly with regards to ground-state and possible quantum critical properties with varied doping. It has been difficult to disentangle consistent analyses faithful to experiment from the zoo of microscopic theories and models. In contrast, there have been notable successes in understanding th...
