We observe and explain a universal scaling rhochi = const for the electrical resistivity rho with the inverse magnetic susceptibility chi(-1) for the Kondo insulator CeRhSb(1-x)Snx. In the regime where the Kondo gap disappears (x > 0.12), the system forms a non-Fermi liquid (NFL), which transforms into a Fermi liquid at higher temperature. The NFL behavior is associated with the presence of a novel quantum critical point (QCP) at the Kondo insulator-correlated metal boundary. The divergent behavior of the resistivity, the susceptibility, and the specific heat has been observed when approaching the QCP from the metallic side and is interpreted as due to the competition between the Kondo and the intersite magnetic correlations. 相似文献

The behavior of the electronic system of heavy-fermion metals is considered. We show that there exist at least two main types of the behavior when the system is near quantum critical point, which can be identified as the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). We show that the first type is represented by the behavior of a highly correlated Fermi liquid, while the second type is depicted by the behavior of a strongly correlated Fermi liquid. If the system approaches FCQPT from the disordered phase, it can be viewed as a highly correlated Fermi liquid which at low temperatures exhibits the behavior of Landau Fermi liquid (LFL). At higher temperatures T, it demonstrates the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior which can be converted into the LFL behavior by the application of magnetic fields B. If the system has undergone FCQPT, it can be considered as a strongly correlated Fermi liquid which demonstrates the NFL behavior even at low temperatures. It can be turned into LFL by applying magnetic fields B. We show that the effective mass M* diverges at the very point that the Neél temperature goes to zero. The B-T phase diagrams of both liquids are studied. We demonstrate that these B-T phase diagrams have a strong impact on the main properties of heavy-fermion metals, such as the magnetoresistance, resistivity, specific heat, magnetization, and volume thermal expansion. 相似文献

Physicists are engaged in vigorous debate on the nature of the quantum critical points (QCP) governing the low-temperature properties of heavy-fermion metals. Recent experimental observations of the much-studied compound YbRh2Si2 in the regime of vanishing temperature incisively probe the nature of its magnetic-field-tuned QCP. The jumps revealed both in the residual resistivity ??0 and the Hall resistivity R H, along with violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law, provide vital clues to the origin of such non-Fermi-liquid behavior. The empirical facts point unambiguously to association of the observed QCP with a fermion-condensation phase transition. Based on this insight, the resistivities ??0 and R H are predicted to show jumps at the crossing of the QCP produced by application of a magnetic field, with attendant violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law. It is further demonstrated that experimentally identifiable multiple energy scales are related to the scaling behavior of the effective mass of the quasiparticles responsible for the low-temperature properties of such heavy-fermion metals. 相似文献

Specific heat versus temperature curves for various pressures, or magnetic fields (or some other external control parameter) have been seen to
cross at a point or in a very small range of temperatures in many correlated fermion systems. We show that this behavior is
related to the possibility of existence of a quantum critical point. Vicinity to a quantum critical point in these systems
leads to a crossover from quantum to classical fluctuation regime at some temperature . The temperature at which the curves cross turns out to be near this crossover temperature. We have discussed the case of
the normal phase of liquid Helium three and the heavy fermion systems CeAl3 and UBe13 in detail within the spin fluctuation theory, a theory which inherently contains a low energy scale which can be identified
with . When the crossover scale is a homogeneous function of these control parameters there is always crossing at a point. We also
mention other theories exhibiting a low energy scale near a quantum critical point and discuss this phenomenon in those theories.

We measured the specific heat and resistivity of heavy fermion CeCoIn5 between the superconducting critical field H(c2)=5 T and 9 T, with the field in the [001] direction, and at temperatures down to 50 mK. At 5 T the data show a non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior down to the lowest temperatures. At the field above 8 T the data exhibit a crossover from the Fermi liquid to a non-Fermi liquid behavior. We analyzed the scaling properties of the specific heat and compared both the resistivity and the specific heat with the predictions of a spin-fluctuation theory. Our analysis leads us to suggest that the NFL behavior is due to incipient antiferromagnetism (AFM) in CeCoIn5 with the quantum critical point in the vicinity of H(c2). Below H(c2) the AFM phase which competes with the paramagnetic ground state is superseded by the superconducting transition. 相似文献

The La dilution of the Kondo lattice CeCoIn5 is studied. The scaling laws found for the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat reveal two well-separated energy scales, corresponding to the single-impurity Kondo temperature T(K) and an intersite spin-liquid temperature T(*). The Ce-dilute alloy has the expected Fermi liquid ground state, while the specific heat and resistivity in the dense Kondo regime exhibit non-Fermi-liquid behavior, which scales with T(*). These observations indicate that the screening of the magnetic moments in the lattice involves antiferromagnetic intersite correlations with a larger energy scale in comparison with the Kondo impurity case. 相似文献

Multiple energy scales are detected in measurements of the thermodynamic and transport properties in heavy fermion metals.
We demonstrate that the experimental data on the energy scales can be well described by the scaling behavior of the effective
mass at the fermion condensation quantum phase transition, and show that the dependence of the effective mass on temperature
and applied magnetic fields gives rise to the non-Fermi liquid behavior. Our analysis is placed in the context of recent salient
experimental results. Our calculations of the non-Fermi liquid behavior, of the scales and thermodynamic and transport properties
are in good agreement with the heat capacity, magnetization, longitudinal magnetoresistance and magnetic entropy obtained
in remarkable measurements on the heavy fermion metal YbRh2Si2. 相似文献

Can Competition between the crystal field and the Kondo effect cause non-Fermi-liquid-like behavior?
The recently reported unusual behavior of the static and dynamical magnetic susceptibility as well as the specific heat in Ce(1-x)La(x)Ni9Ge4 has raised the question of a possible non-Fermi-liquid ground state in this material. We argue that for a consistent physical picture the crystal-field splitting of two low-lying magnetic doublets of the Ce 4f-shell must be taken into account. Furthermore, we show that for a splitting of the order of the low temperature scale T* of the system a crossover behavior between an SU(4) and an SU(2) Kondo effect is found. The screening of the two doublets occurs on different temperature scales leading to a different behavior of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat at low temperatures. The experimentally accessible temperature regime down to 50 mK still lies in the extended crossover regime into a strong-coupling Fermi-liquid fixed point. 相似文献

We discuss the crossover of the form of the Cu Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin echo decay at the onset of Cu wipeout in lanthanum cuprates. Experimentally, the echo decay undergoes a crossover from Gaussian to exponential form below the temperature where the Cu NMR intensity drops. The wipeout and the change in behavior both arise because the nuclei experience spatially inhomogeneous spin fluctuations at low temperatures. We argue that regions where the spin fluctuations remain fast are localized on length scales of order 1-2 lattice spacings. The inhomogeneity is characterized by the local activation energy Ea(r); we estimate the functional form of Ea(r) for points where Ea>(r)∼0. 相似文献

The resistivity of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 was measured as a function of temperature, down to 25 mK and in magnetic fields of up to 16 T applied perpendicular to the basal plane. With increasing field, we observe a suppression of the non-Fermi liquid behavior, rho approximately T, and the development of a Fermi liquid state, with its characteristic rho=rho(0)+AT2 dependence. The field dependence of the T2 coefficient shows critical behavior with an exponent of 1.37. This is evidence for a field-induced quantum critical point (QCP), occurring at a critical field which coincides, within experimental accuracy, with the superconducting critical field H(c2). We discuss the relation of this field-tuned QCP to a change in the magnetic state, seen as a change in magnetoresistance from positive to negative, at a crossover line that has a common border with the superconducting region below approximately 1 K. 相似文献

For a system near a quantum critical point (QCP), above its lower critical dimension d L , there is in general a critical line of second-order phase transitions that separates the broken symmetry phase at finite temperatures from the disordered phase. The phase transitions along this line are governed by thermal critical exponents that are different from those associated with the quantum critical point. We point out that, if the effective dimension of the QCP, d eff?=?d?+?z (d is the Euclidean dimension of the system and z the dynamic quantum critical exponent) is above its upper critical dimension $d_{_{C}}$ there is an intermingle of classical (thermal) and quantum critical fluctuations near the QCP. This is due to the breakdown of the generalized scaling relation ψ?=?νz between the shift exponent ψ of the critical line and the crossover exponent νz, for $d+z>d_{_{C}}$ by a dangerous irrelevant interaction. This phenomenon has clear experimental consequences, like the suppression of the amplitude of classical critical fluctuations near the line of finite temperature phase transitions as the critical temperature is reduced approaching the QCP. 相似文献

We utilize NMR field cycling relaxometry to study the crossover from glassy dynamics (t approximately > tau alpha) through Rouse to reptation behavior in a series of monodisperse polybutadienes with molecular weights M=355 to 817,000 g/mol. We separate characteristic polymer dynamics from the total spectrum dominated by glassy dynamics. The polymer dynamics show typical Rouse relaxation features that grow with M and saturate at high M. Comparing to Rouse theory, we determine the Rouse unit size MR approximately = 500 and entanglement weight Me approximately = 2000; the Rouse spectrum saturates at Mmax approximately = 4000. The local order parameter S approximately 0.11 is relatively large, indicating noticeable local packing already in the Rouse regime. The M dependence of the glass transition temperature Tg, obtained from dielectric relaxation spectra, shows distinctive kinks at MR and Me. 相似文献

The classical to quantum crossover, which occurs in
d-dimensional transverse field Ising model-like systems decreasing
the temperature to zero in the influence domain of the quantum
critical point (QCP), is described by employing an effective
Wilsonian renormalization group approach in 4 - ε dimensions.
The basic ingredient of the treatment is the static action arising
from a preliminary one-loop averaging over non-zero frequency
modes, which enter the original quantum one. The crossover scaling
functions for susceptibility and related thermodynamic quantities
are obtained to first order in ε as explicit functions of the
temperature and the applied magnetic field. In our static
framework, which can be easily extended to other quantum systems
exhibiting a critical line which terminates in a QCP, the suitable
procedure for observing this type of crossover through genuine
thermodynamic measurements is clarified consistently with
available experiments. Remarkably, our basic idea and results may
be usefully employed to explore also the dimensional crossover
which takes place in classical Ising-like systems with slab or
film geometry and, possibly, in other finite-size classical
systems. 相似文献

Variational methods are applied to a single polyelectrolyte chain. The polymer is modeled as a Gaussian chain with screened
electrostatic repulsion between all monomers. As a variational Hamiltonian, the most general Gaussian kernel, including the
possibility of a classical or mean polymer path, is employed. The resulting self-consistent equations are systematically solved
both for large and small monomer-monomer separations along the chain. In the absence of screening, the polymer is stretched
on average. It is described by a straight classical path with Gaussian fluctuations around it. If the electrostatic repulsion
is screened, the polymer is isotropically swollen for large separations, and for small separations the polymer correlation
function is calculated as an analytic expansion in terms of the monomer-monomer separation along the chain. The electrostatic
persistence length and the electrostatic blobsize are inferred from the crossover between distinct scaling ranges. We perform
a global analysis of the scaling behavior as a function of the screening length and electrostatic interaction strength , where is the Bjerrum length and A is the distance of charges along the polymer chain. We find three different scaling regimes. i) A Gaussian-persistent regime with Gaussian behavior at small, persistent behavior at intermediate, and isotropically swollen behavior at large length
scales. This regime occurs for weakly charged polymers and only for intermediate values of the screening length. The electrostatic
persistence length is defined as the crossover length between the persistent and the asymptotically swollen behavior and is given by and thus disagrees with previous (restricted) variational treatments which predict a linear dependence on the screening length
.ii) A Gaussian regime with Gaussian behavior at small and isotropically swollen behavior at large length scales. This regime occurs for weakly
charged polymers and/or strong screening, and the electrostatic repulsion between monomers only leads to subfluent corrections
to Gaussian scaling at small separations. The concept of a persistence length is without meaning in this regime. iii) A persistent regime , where the chain resembles a stretched rod on intermediate and small scales. Here the persistence length is given by the
original Odijk prediction, , if the overstretching of the chain is avoided. We also investigate the effects of a finite polymer length and of an additional
excluded-volume interaction, which modify the resultant scaling behavior. Applications to experiments and computer simulations
are discussed.

We used inelastic neutron scattering to study magnetic excitations of Sc1-xUxPd3 for U concentrations (x=0.25, 0.35) near the spin glass quantum critical point (QCP). The excitations are spatially incoherent, broad in energy (E=variant Planck's over 2piomega), and follow omega/T scaling at all wave vectors investigated. Since similar omega/T scaling has been observed for UCu5-xPdx and CeCu6-xAux near the antiferromagnetic QCP, we argue that the observed non-Fermi-liquid behavior in these f-electron materials arises from the critical phenomena near a T=0 K phase transition, irrespective of the nature of the transition. 相似文献

In a magnetic field, spin-ladders undergo two zero-temperature phase transitions at the critical fields Hc1 and Hc2. An experimental review of static and dynamical properties of spin-ladders close to these critical points is presented. The
scaling functions, universal to all quantum critical points in one-dimension, are extracted from (a) the thermodynamic quantities
(magnetization) and (b) the dynamical functions (NMR relaxation). A simple mapping of strongly coupled spin ladders in a magnetic
field on the exactly solvable XXZ model enables to make detailed fits and gives an overall understanding of a broad class of quantum magnets in their gapless
phase (between Hc1 and Hc2). In this phase, the low temperature divergence of the NMR relaxation demonstrates its Luttinger liquid nature as well as
the novel quantum critical regime at higher temperature. The general behavior close these quantum critical points can be tied
to known models of quantum magnetism.

We study the mechanism of how critical end points of first-order valence transitions are controlled by a magnetic field. We show that the critical temperature is suppressed to be a quantum critical point (QCP) by a magnetic field, and unexpectedly, the QCP exhibits nonmonotonic field dependence in the ground-state phase diagram, giving rise to the emergence of metamagnetism even in the intermediate valence-crossover regime. The driving force of the field-induced QCP is clarified to be cooperative phenomena of the Zeeman and Kondo effects, which create a distinct energy scale from the Kondo temperature. This mechanism explains the peculiar magnetic response in CeIrIn(5) and the metamagnetic transition in YbXCu(4) for X=In as well as the sharp contrast between X=Ag and Cd. 相似文献

Using a specially designed SQUID magnetometer we measured the temperature dependence of the critical current density in a

for increasing T-values, while an anomalous decrease of S

Quasiparticles of strongly correlated Fermi liquids at high temperatures and in high magnetic fields
V. R. Shaginyan 《Physics of Atomic Nuclei》2011,74(8):1107-1124
Strongly correlated Fermi systems are among the most intriguing, best experimentally studied and fundamental systems in physics.
There is, however, lack of theoretical understanding in this field of physics. The ideas based on the concepts like Kondo
lattice and involving quantum and thermal fluctuations at a quantum critical point have been used to explain the unusual physics.
Alas, being suggested to describe one property, these approaches fail to explain the others. This means a real crisis in theory
suggesting that there is a hidden fundamental law of nature. It turns out that the hidden fundamental law is well forgotten
old one directly related to the Landau-Migdal quasiparticles, while the basic properties and the scaling behavior of the strongly
correlated systems can be described within the framework of the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). The
phase transition comprises the extended quasiparticle paradigm that allows us to explain the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior
observed in these systems. In contrast to the Landau paradigm stating that the quasiparticle effective mass is a constant,
the effective mass of new quasiparticles strongly depends on temperature, magnetic field, pressure, and other parameters.
Our observations are in good agreement with experimental facts and show that FCQPT is responsible for the observed NFL behavior
and quasiparticles survive both high temperatures and high magnetic fields. 相似文献
