Pairing correlations near a Kondo-destruction quantum critical point

J. H. Pixley, Lili Deng, Kevin Ingersent +1 more

Motivated by the unconventional superconductivity observed in heavy-fermion metals, we investigate pairing susceptibilities near a continuous quantum phase transition of the Kondo-destruction type. We solve two-impurity Bose-Fermi Anderson models with Ising and Heisenberg forms of the interimpurity exchange interaction using continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo and numerical renormalization-group methods. Each model exhibits a Kondo-destruction quantum critical point separating Kondo-screened and local-moment phases. For antiferromagnetic interimpurity exchange interactions, singlet pairing is found to be enhanced in the vicinity of the transition. Implications of this result for heavy-fermion superconductivity are discussed.

Kondo destruction Quantum Phase Transition in SU(2) symmetric Bose-Fermi Anderson Model.

Ang Cai, Qimiao Si A

In quantum critical heavy fermion systems, local moments are coupled to both collective spin fluctuations and conduction electrons. As such, the Bose-Fermi Kondo model, describing the coupling of a local moment to both a bosonic and a fermionic bath, has been of extensive interest. For the model in the presence of SU(2) spin rotational symmetry, questions have been raised about its phase diagram. Here we develop a version of continuous-time Quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) method suitable for addressing this issue; this procedure can reach sufficiently low temperatures while preserving the SU(2) symmetry. Using this method for the Bose-Fermi Anderson model, we clarify the renormalization-group fixed points and the phase diagram for the case with a constant fermionic-bath density of states and a power-law bosonic-bath spectral function $\rho_{b}(\omega) \propto \omega^{s}$ ($0<s<1$). We find two types of Kondo destruction QCP, depending on the power-law exponent $s$ in the bosonic bath spectrum. For $s^{*}<s<1$, both types of QCPs exist and, in the parameter regime accessible by an analytical $\epsilon$-expansion renormalization-group calculation (here $\epsilon=1-s$), the CT-QMC result is fully consistent with prior predictions by the latter method. For $s<s^{*}$, there is only one type of QCP. At both type of Kondo destruction QCPs, we find that the exponent of the local spin susceptibility $\eta$ obeys the relation $\eta=\epsilon$, which has important implications for Kondo destruction QCP in the Kondo lattice problem.

Using this method for the Bose-Fermi Anderson model, we clarify the renormalization-group fixed points and the phase diagram for the case with a constant fermionic-bath density of states and a power-law bosonic-bath spectral function ρb(ω)∝ωs\rho_{b}(\omega) \propto \omega^{s}ρb​(ω)∝ωs (0<s<10<s<10<s<1). We find two types of Kondo destruction QCP, depending on the power-law exponent sss in the bosonic bath spectrum. For s∗<s<1s^{*}<s<1s∗<s<1, both types of QCPs exist and, in the parameter regime accessible by an analytical ϵ\epsilonϵ-expansion renormalization-group calculation (here ϵ=1−s\epsilon=1-sϵ=1−s), the CT-QMC result is fully consistent with prior predictions by the latter method. For s<s∗s<s^{*}s<s∗, there is only one type of QCP. At both type of Kondo destruction QCPs, we find that the exponent of the local spin susceptibility η\etaη obeys the relation η=ϵ\eta=\epsilonη=ϵ, which has important implications for Kondo destruction QCP in the Kondo lattice problem.
