چکیده

We study the conductivity of a three-dimensional disordered metal close to antiferromagnetic instability within the framework of the spin-fermion model using the diagrammatic technique. We calculate the interaction correction δσ(ω,T) to the conductivity, assuming that the latter is dominated by the disorder scattering, and the interaction is weak. Although the fermionic scattering rate shows critical behavior on the entire Fermi surface, the interaction correction is dominated by the processes near the hot spots, narrow regions of the Fermi surface corresponding to the strongest spin-fermion scattering. Exactly at the critical point δσ is proportional to [max(ω,T)](3/2). At sufficiently large frequencies ω the conductivity is independent of the temperature, and δσ is proportional to (τ(-1)-iω)(-2), τ being the elastic scattering time. In a certain intermediate frequency range δσ(ω) is proportional to iω(τ(-1)-iω)(-2).

Quantum 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 ...

Heat transport and self-organized criticality in liquid 4 He close to Tλ

We present a renormalization-group calculation based on model F for the thermal conductivity λT(T,Q) in the presence of a homogeneous heat current Q and gravity. For temperatures below Tλ we obtain a large but finite thermal conductivity corresponding to superfluid He with dissipation. Furthermore, we consider the self-organized critical state where the effects of gravity and heat current cance...

Quantum-critical theory of the spin- fermion model and its application to cuprates: Normal state analysis

We present the full analysis of the normal state properties of the spin–fermion model near the antiferromagnetic instability in two dimensions. The model describes low-energy fermions interacting with their own collective spin fluctuations, which soften at the antiferromagnetic transition. We argue that in 2D, the system has two typical energies—an effective spin–fermion interaction g and an en...

Magnetic correlations and quantum criticality in the insulating antiferromagnetic , insulating spin liquid , renormalized Fermi liquid , and metallic antiferromagnetic phases of the Mott system

Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide (V2O3) have been examined by magnetic thermal neutron scattering. Specifically we have studied the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of metallic V2−yO3, the antiferromagnetic insulating and paramagnetic metallic phases of stoichiometric V2O3, and the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of insulating V1...
