A quantum critical point (QCP) develops in a material at absolute zero when a new form of order smoothly emerges in its ground state. QCPs are of great current interest because of their singular ability to influence the finite temperature properties of materials. Recently, heavy-fermion metals have played a key role in the study of antiferromagnetic QCPs. To accommodate the heavy electrons, the Fermi surface of the heavy-fermion paramagnet is larger than that of an antiferromagnet. An important…

Heavy-fermion quantum criticality and destruction of the Kondo effect in a nickel oxypnictide.
- PhysicsNature materials
- 2014
It is shown that a nickel oxypnictide, CeNiAsO, exhibits a heavy-fermion antiferromagnetic quantum critical point as a function of either pressure or P/As substitution, suggesting a sudden jump of the Fermi surface and a destruction of the Kondo effect.

Measurements of thermal and electrical transport across the field-induced magnetic QCP in the heavy-fermion compound YbRh2Si2 imply that Landau quasiparticles break up, and could be relevant to understanding other deviations from Fermi-liquid behaviour frequently observed in various classes of correlated materials.

This article overviews the development of heavy-fermion superconductivity, notably in such rare-earth-based intermetallic compounds which behave as Kondo-lattice systems, and concludes for YbRh2Si2, the breakdown of the Kondo effect concurring with the AF instability gives rise to an abrupt change of the Fermi surface.

It is inferred that all ballistic motion of electrons vanishes at a QCP, forming a new class of conductor in which individual electrons decay into collective current-carrying motions of the electron fluid.

Evidence is found for an atomically local contribution to the magnetic correlations which develops at the critical gold concentration, corresponding to a magnetic ordering temperature of zero, which implies that a Fermi-liquid-destroying spin-localizing transition, unanticipated from the spin density wave description, coincides with the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point.

Surprisingly, the Hall coefficient does not vary monotonically with doping but rather exhibits a sharp change at the optimal doping level for superconductivity, which supports the idea that two competing ground states underlie the high-temperature superconducting phase.
