Scaling Between Periodic Anderson and Kondo Lattice Models
Continuous-Time Quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) method combined with Dynamical
Mean Field Theory (DMFT) is used to calculate both Periodic Anderson Model
(PAM) and Kondo Lattice Model (KLM). Different parameter sets of both models
are connected by the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation. For degeneracy N=2, a
special particle-hole symmetric case of PAM at half filling which always fixes
one electron per impurity site is compared with the results of the KLM. We find
a good mapping between PAM and KLM in the limit of large on-site Hubbard
interaction U for different properties like self-energy, quasiparticle residue
and susceptibility. This allows us to extract quasiparticle mass
renormalizations for the f electrons directly from KLM. The method is further
applied to higher degenerate case and to realsitic heavy fermion system CeRhIn5
in which the estimate of the Sommerfeld coefficient is proven to be close to
the experimental value
Spin liquid close to a quantum critical point in NaIrO
NaIrO is a candidate material for a 3-dimensional quantum
spin-liquid on the hyperkagome lattice. We present thermodynamic measurements
of heat capacity and thermal conductivity on high quality
polycrystalline samples of NaIrO down to mK and mK,
respectively. Absence of long-range magnetic order down to mK strongly
supports claims of a spin-liquid ground state. The constant magnetic
susceptibility below K and the presence of a small but
finite linear- term in suggest the presence of gapless spin
excitations. Additionally, the magnetic Grneisen ratio shows a
divergence as K and a scaling behavior which clearly
demonstrates that NaIrO is situated close to a zero-field QCP.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, PRB rapid, in pres
Phase equilibrium in two orbital model under magnetic field
The phase equilibrium in manganites under magnetic field is studied using a
two orbital model, based on the equivalent chemical potential principle for the
competitive phases. We focus on the magnetic field induced melting process of
CE phase in half-doped manganites. It is predicted that the homogenous CE phase
begins to decompose into coexisting ferromagnetic phase and CE phase once the
magnetic field exceeds the threshold field. In a more quantitative way, the
volume fractions of the two competitive phases in the phase separation regime
are evaluated.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Beyond Wigner's isobaric multiplet mass equation: Effect of charge-symmetry-breaking interaction and Coulomb polarization
The quadratic form of the isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME), which was
originally suggested by Wigner and has been generally regarded as valid, is
seriously questioned by recent high-precision nuclear mass measurements. The
usual resolution to this problem is to add empirically the cubic and quartic
-terms to characterize the deviations from the IMME, but finding the
origin of these terms remains an unsolved difficulty. Based on a strategy
beyond the Wigner's first-order perturbation, we derive explicitly the cubic
and quartic -terms. These terms are shown to be generated by the effective
charge-symmetry breaking and charge-independent breaking interactions in
nuclear medium combined with the Coulomb polarization effect. Calculations for
the - and lower -shells explore a systematical emergence of the cubic
-term, suggesting a general deviation from the original IMME.
Intriguingly, the magnitude of the deviation exhibits an oscillation-like
behavior with mass number, modulated by the shell effect.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
