Ferromagnetic Quantum Critical Point in Non-Centrosymmetric Systems

Abstract

Ferromagnetic quantum criticality in clean metals has proven elusive due to fermionic soft modes that drive the transition first order. We show that non-centrosymmetric metals with a strong spin-orbit interaction provide a promising class of materials for realizing a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in clean systems. The spin-orbit interaction renders massive the soft modes that interfere with quantum criticality in most materials, while the absence of spatial inversion symmetry precludes the existence of new classes of soft modes that could have the same effect.
