Compressible Quantum Critical Metamagnetistm — •Mario Zacharias1, Indranil Paul1, and Markus Garst21Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne — 2Institut Neel, CNRS/UJF, Grenoble, France

For materials close to quantum criticality the critical degrees of freedom couple generically to the crystal lattice. In case of perturbative couplings, this results e.g. in a divergent Grüneisen parameter allowing to probe critical fluctuations by measuring elastic properties. We argue however that for quantum critical metamagnetism, as discussed in the context of Sr3Ru2O7 and CeRu2Si2, such a coupling is necessarily non-perturbative resulting in a modification of the critical behavior. In particular, we show that the metamagnetic transition is exactly described by mean-field theory without long-range critical fluctuations.
