Weak-coupling to strong-coupling quantum criticality crossover in a Kitaev quantum spin liquid α-RuCl3

چکیده
We report an unprecedented quantum criticality crossover representing two different universal scaling behaviors in a Kitaev magnetic material $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$. $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ presents both symmetry breaking antiferromagnetic order and long-range entangled topological of spin liquid, thus could be candidate system for new universality class involving deconfined fractionalized excitations the local Z$_2$ fluxes itinerant Majorana fermions. Theoretical analyses on inelastic neutron scattering specific heat results demonstrate that Wilson-Fisher-Yukawa-type 'conventional' weak-coupling high energy scales crosses over to heavy-fermion-type 'local' strong-coupling one low scales. Our findings provide deep insight how evolves fermion-boson coupled systems with types

Kitaev exchange and field-induced quantum spin-liquid states in honeycomb α-RuCl3
Large anisotropic exchange in 5d and 4d oxides and halides open the door to new types of magnetic ground states and excitations, inconceivable a decade ago. A prominent case is the Kitaev spin liquid, host of remarkable properties such as protection of quantum information and the emergence of Majorana fermions. Here we discuss the promise for spin-liquid behavior in the 4d5 honeycomb halide α-R...
متن کاملMott insulators in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit: from Heisenberg to a quantum compass and Kitaev models.
We study the magnetic interactions in Mott-Hubbard systems with partially filled t_{2g} levels and with strong spin-orbit coupling. The latter entangles the spin and orbital spaces, and leads to a rich variety of the low energy Hamiltonians that extrapolate from the Heisenberg to a quantum compass model depending on the lattice geometry. This gives way to "engineer" in such Mott insulators an e...
متن کاملQuantum solitons at strong coupling
We examine the effect of one loop quantum corrections on the formation of nontopological solitons in a strongly coupled scalar-fermionic Yukawa theory. The exact one fermion loop contribution is incorporated by using a nonlocal method to correct the local derivative expansion approximation (DE) of the effective action. As the Yukawa coupling is increased we find that the nonlocal corrections pl...
متن کاملDistribution of proper delay times in quantum chaotic scattering: a crossover from ideal to weak coupling.
The probability distribution of the proper delay times during scattering on a chaotic system is derived in the framework of the random matrix approach and the supersymmetry method. The result obtained is valid for an arbitrary number of scattering channels as well as arbitrary coupling to the energy continuum. The case of statistically equivalent channels is studied in detail. In particular, th...
متن کاملStrong Coupling Perturbation Theory in Quantum Mechanics
We present a full introduction to the recent devised perturbation theory for strong coupling in quantum mechanics. In order to put the theory in a proper historical perspective, the approach devised in quantum field theory is rapidly presented, showing how it implies a kind of duality in perturbation theory, from the start. The approach of renormalization group in perturbation theory is then pr...
