We show that the quantum critical point associated with the metal-insulator transition phenomenon in two dimensions controls an extended critical region encompassing not only the usual quantum critical sector but also a range of the low-temperature insulator region. The extended range of criticality permits a unified analysis of data from the insulating region and quantum critical sector, allowing us to determine both the dynamical critical exponent $z$ and the correlation length critical exponent $\ensuremath{\nu}$ from published data from a single experiment in the insulator critical region. We show that the critical exponents determined from the insulator sector consistently describe the temperature dependence of the resistance data from the same experiment in the quantum critical sector. This provides evidence for the presence of a quantum critical point in these systems.We show that the quantum critical point associated with the metal-insulator transition phenomenon in two dimensions controls an extended critical region encompassing not only the usual quantum critical sector but also a range of the low-temperature insulator region.

Multi-critical dynamics of the Boson system in the vicinity of the second-order quantum phase transition

Mikhail Gennag'evich Vasin

The non-equilibrium dynamics of the critical behaviour of the Boson system undergoing the second order quantum phase transition is discussed. The analysis is carried out using the Keldysh technique of the non-equilibrium dynamics description. The critical behaviour close to the quantum critical point has been shown to be multi-critical. Crossover among three different critical regimes (modes) is possible: adiabatic quantum mode (AQM), dissipative classical mode (classical critical dynamics mode (CCDM) and dissipative quantum critical mode (QCDM). As a result, the observed critical behavior can essentially depend on the conditions of approaching the critical point.The non-equilibrium dynamics of the critical behaviour of the Boson system undergoing the second order quantum phase transition is discussed.

Quantum critical fans from critical lines at zero temperature

Hui Yu, Sudip Chakravarty

Quantum critical phenomena influence the finite temperature behavior of condensed matter systems through quantum critical fans whose extents are determined by the exponents of the zero temperature criticality. Here we emphasize the aspects of quantum critical lines, as discussed previously, and study an exactly solved model involving a transverse field Ising model with added three-spin interaction. This model has three critical lines. We compute the spin-spin correlation function and extract the correlation length, and identify the crossovers: quantum critical to quantum disordered, or renormalized classical regimes. We construct the quantum critical fans along one of the critical lines. In addition, we also construct finite temperature dynamic structure factors. We hope this model will become experimentally realizable in the future, and our results could stimulate studies in many similar models.Quantum critical phenomena influence the finite temperature behavior of condensed matter systems through quantum critical fans whose extents are determined by the exponents of the zero temperature criticality.

We show that the critical exponents determined from the insulator sector consistently describe the temperature dependence of the resistance data from the same experiment in the quantum critical sector. This provides evidence for the presence of a quantum critical point in these systems.
