Destruction of the Kondo effect in the cubic heavy-fermion compound Ce3Pd20Si6

Abstract: How ground states of quantum matter transform between one another reveals deep insights into the mechanisms stabilizing them. Correspondingly, quantum phase transitions are explored in numerous materials classes, with heavy fermion compounds being among the most prominent ones. Recent studies in an anisotropic heavy fermion compound have shown that different types of transitions are induced by variations of chemical or external pressure 1-3 , raising the question of the extent to which heavy fermion quantum cr… Show more

“…Strongly correlated electron systems, however, are providing an increasing number of examples suggesting that this model is insufficient and that fermionic degrees of freedom cannot be ignored. [31,32,33,34] These examples have motivated new theoretical models of quantum criticality that explicitly include criticality of fermions and that appear to account for observations not captured in the conventional model. [35,36,37,38,39,40] Pressure, magnetic field and chemical composition are three non-thermal control parameters that commonly are used to access a quantum-phase transition.…”

“…1, that there are other routes to a quantum-critical state. Though not easily tunable, spatial dimensionality [34], geometrical frustration of magnetic ions [41,42,43,44] and, interestingly, the lack of periodicity in quasi-crystals [45,46] lead to physical properties that are consistent with expectations of quantum criticality. Whether it will be possible to understand properties of these materials within the context of the conventional model of criticality remains to be seen, but it seems unlikely.…”
