Kondo physics and magnetism with high-order Van Hove singularities — •Krzysztof P.

Despite vast experimental progress in strongly-correlated electron research over last decades, a number of major puzzles remain unsolved. In particular, in some materials (e.g. strontium ruthenates) the nature of magnetic-field-driven quantum criticality has not been determined. It may be caused mainly by quantum fluctuations, or rather a second-order Van Hove singularity present near the Fermi level may play the major role [1]. To better understand the tension between these two mechanisms, an analysis of a simple impurity model is proposed, which can clarify the fate of the Kondo effect in the host exhibiting a spin-split Van Hove singularity.

The model is solved with numerical renormalization group. It is shown that the spin-splitting of the band stabilizes a novel strong-coupling partially polarized fixed point. Such splitting is seen experimentally in surface spectroscopy of Sr3Ru2O7, even in the absence of external magnetic field [1]. The results concerning spin susceptibility and entropy will be presented, followed by the predictions of spectral properties and discussion of their significance for the correlated lattices.
