Quantum phase transitions of Ising ferromagnets in tilted transverse fields — •Heike Eisenlohr and Matthias Vojta — Institut für theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany
Transverse-field Ising magnets constitute a paradigmatic example for quantum phase transitions, with experimental realisations in e.g. LiHoF4 and CoNb2O6. Here we theoretically analyze the fate of the field-driven zero-temperature transition upon tilting the field away from the direction perpendicular to the easy axis. While the transition turns into a crossover if the ordered phase is single-domain, a sharp transition remains in the multi-domain case relevant for a ferromagnet. We characterize this transition in detail, also discussing effects of domain-wall motion. Upon including nuclear spin degrees of freedom, we are able to link our results to experiments on LiHoF4.
