Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Many-Body Systems

Background:

  • The SU(N) Kondo model describes interactions between localized magnetic moments and conduction electrons.
  • Power-law vanishing density of states at the Fermi level can lead to unusual quantum phase transitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the low-energy physics of a multichannel SU(N) Kondo model with a vanishing conduction electron density of states.
  • To determine the universal behavior and critical exponents near quantum-critical points.
  • To connect theoretical findings to experimental observations in impurity-doped superconductors.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a multichannel SU(N) Kondo model in a large-N limit.
  • Solution via coupled integral equations representing a dynamic saddle point.
