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 critical point in heavy fermions
Mucio Amado Continentino
The concept that heavy fermions are close to a quantum critical point and that this proximity determines their physical behavior, has opened new perspectives in the study of these…
Comment on "Universally Diverging Gruneisen Parameter and the Magnetocaloric Effect Close to a Quantum Critical Point"
Mucio A. Continentino
In a recent Letter, Zhu et al. [L. Zhu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 066404 (2003)], obtained the divergence of the Gruneisen ratio close to a quantum critical point (QCP). We show…
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…
Remarks on quantum critical behavior in heavy fermions
Mucio A. Continentino
Generalized scaling relations and renormalization group results are used to discuss the phase diagrams of heavy fermion systems. We consider the cases where these materials are dri…
