Effect of paramagnetic fluctuations on a Fermi surface topological transition in two dimensions

arXiv:1309.6969 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.165110

Abstract

We study the Fermi surface topological transition of the pocket-opening type in a two dimensional Fermi liquid. We find that the paramagnetic fluctuations in an interacting Fermi liquid typically drive the transition first order at zero temperature. We first gain insight from a calculation using second order perturbation theory in the self-energy. This is valid for weak interaction and far from instabilities. We then extend the results to stronger interaction, using the self-consistent fluctuation approximation. Experimental signatures are given in the light of these results.
