Strange metallicity and Planckian dissipation due to a heavy Fermion quantum critical point
ORAL
Abstract
We present a cellular dynamical mean-field theory (CDMFT) plus Numerical Renormalization Group approach to study quantum criticality in the periodic Anderson model (PAM). The CDMFT phase diagram of the PAM contains a Kondo breakdown (KB) quantum critical point (QCP). At zero temperature, this KB-QCP marks a continuous transition between two Fermi liquid phases, which differ in their Fermi surface volumes. At non-zero temperatures in the vicinity of the QCP, we find a non-Fermi liquid regime which features strange metal like features such as a linear-in-T resistivity or a logarithmic temperature dependence of the Sommerfeld coefficient. We discuss the properties of this non-Fermi liquid regime and in particular also show that the longest lived coherent excitations have an exactly Planckian lifetime.
