Universal behavior at discontinuous quantum phase transitions
Andre S. Ferreira, Mucio A. Continentino
Discontinuous quantum phase transitions besides their general interest are clearly relevant to the study of heavy fermions and magnetic transition metal compounds. Recent results s…
Quantum corrections to the phase diagram of heavy-fermion superconductors
A. S. Ferreira, M. A. Continentino, E. C. Marino
The competition between magnetism and Kondo effect is the main effect determining the phase diagram of heavy fermion systems. It gives rise to a quantum critical point which govern…
Pomeranchuk effect in unstable Ytterbium systems
Mucio A. Continentino, Andre S. Ferreira
and its alloys present discontinuous, first order iso-structural transitions at pressure dependent temperatures , where a local moment phase coexist with a ren…
Quantum first order phase transitions
Mucio A. Continentino, Andre S. Ferreira
The scaling theory of critical phenomena has been successfully extended for classical first order transitions even though the correlation length does not diverge in these transitio…
