We study the scaling behaviour of the optical conductivity $(\sigma)$, free energy density $(F)$ and shear viscosity of the quantum critical point associated with spin density wave phase transition for a two-dimensional metallic system with $C_2$ symmetry. A non-Fermi liquid behaviour emerges at two pairs of isolated points on the Fermi surface due to the coupling of a bosonic order parameter to fermionic excitations at those so-called "hot-spots". We find that near the hot-spots, $\sigma$ and…

Non-Fermi liquid at the FFLO quantum critical point
• Physics
Physical Review B
• 2018
When a 2D superconductor is subjected to a strong in-plane magnetic field, Zeeman polarization of the Fermi surface can give rise to inhomogeneous FFLO order with a spatially modulated gap. Further

We derive the quantum Boltzmann equation (QBE) by using generalized Landau-interaction parameters, obtained through the nonequilibrium Green’s function technique. This is a generalization of the
Fate of superconductivity in three-dimensional disordered Luttinger semimetals
Superconducting instability can occur in three-dimensional quadratic band crossing semimetals only at a finite coupling strength due to the vanishing of density of states at the quadratic band

Luttinger semimetals represent materials with strong spin-orbit coupling, harbouring doubly degenerate quadratic band touchings at the Brillouin zone center. In the presence of Coulomb interactions,
Robust marginal Fermi liquid in birefringent semimetals
We investigate the interplay of Coulomb interactions and correlated disorder in pseudospin-3/2 semimetals, which exhibit birefringent spectra in the absence of interactions. Coulomb interactions
Search for plasmons in isotropic Luttinger semimetals
Luttinger semimetals include materials like gray tin ($\alpha$-Sn) and mercury telluride, which are three-dimensional gapless semiconductors having a quadratic band crossing point (QBCP). Due to a
Floquet scattering of quadratic band-touching semimetals through a time-periodic potential well

To analyze the time-periodic Hamiltonian, this work assumes a non-adiabatic limit where the Floquet theorem is applicable, and chalk out the transmission and shot noise spectra of the QBT semimetals.
Transport in the non-Fermi liquid phase of isotropic Luttinger semimetals
• Physics
Physical Review B
• 2021
Luttinger semimetals have quadratic band crossings at the Brillouin zone-center in three spatial dimensions. Coulomb interactions in a model that describes these systems stabilize a non-trivial fixed
