Scaling and relaxational dynamics near Kondo-destroying quantum critical points
ORAL
Abstract
We study the finite-temperature dynamical scaling in the vicinity of the Kondo-destroying quantum critical points in two quantum impurity models. For the pseudogap Anderson model, we use a combination of renormalization group, continuous time quantum Monte Carlo and large-N techniques to obtain the complete scaling functions of the local susceptibility and single-electron Green's function both in the coherent ( $\omega >$T) and relaxational ( $\omega <$T) regime [1]. We establish that the relaxation rate is linear in temperature for both quantities. The result for the Green's function is reminiscent of recent experimental findings in the Kondo-destroying quantum critical point of heavy fermion metals [2]. For the Bose-Fermi Kondo model, we report related results derived from the continuous time quantum Monte Carlo and large-N methods. \\[4pt] [1] M. T. Glossop, S. Kirchner, J. H.
