Quantum Critical Phase and Lifshitz Transition in an Extended Periodic Anderson Model
We study the quantum phase transition in -electron systems as a quantum
Lifshitz transition driven by selective Mott localization in a realistic
extended Anderson lattice model. Using DMFT, we find that a quantum critical
{\it phase} with anomalous scaling separates a heavy Landau-Fermi
liquid from ordered phase(s). Fermi surface reconstruction occurs via the
interplay between, and penetration of the Green function zeros to the poles,
leading to violation of Luttinger's theorem in the selective-Mott phase . We
show how this naturally leads to scale-invariant responses in transport. Our
work is represents a specific (DMFT) realization of the hidden-FL and FL
theories, and holds promise for study of "strange" metal phases in quantum
matter.Comment: 8 pages,5 figure
Preformed excitonic liquid route to a charge density wave in 2H-TaSe
Recent experiments on 2H-TaSe contradict the long-held view of the charge
density wave arising from a nested band structure. An intrinsically strong
coupling view, involving a charge density wave state arising as a Bose
condensation of preformed excitons emerges as an attractive, albeit scantily
investigated alternative. Using local density approximation plus multiorbital
dynamic mean-field theory, we show that this scenario agrees with a variety of
normal state data for 2H-TaSe. Based thereupon, the ordered states in a
subset of dichalcogenides should be viewed as instabilities of a correlated,
preformed excitonic liquid.Comment: 4 pages,8 figure
