Analysis of the antiferromagnetic phase transitions of the 2D Kondo lattice

Abstract:
We study the antiferromagnetic quantum phase transition of a 2D Kondo-Heisenberg square lattice using the nonlinear sigma model. A renormalization group analysis of the competing Kondo-RKKY interaction is carried out to one-loop order in the expansion, and a new quantum critical point (QCP) strongly affected by Kondo fluctuations is found. Near this QCP, the spin-wave velocity scales logarithmically, i.e., breakdown of hydrodynamic behavior, and the spin wave is logarithmically frozen out. The renormalization group results also allow us to propose a new phase diagram near the antiferromagnetic fixed point of this 2D Kondo lattice model.

In this theory, Newton's second law of motion is used to determine the acceleration of an electron in the presence of an applied electric field. Then, its velocity is expressed via this acceleration.
