Quantum Critical Behavior of the Bose-Fermi Kondo Model with Ising Anisotropy
ORAL
Abstract
The existence of a continous quantum phase transition of the Bose-Fermi Kondo Model (BFKM) with a self-consistently determined bosonic bath has been demonstrated within the Extended Dynamical Mean Field Approach to the anisotropic Kondo lattice model and $\omega/T$-scaling near the quantum critical point(QCP)was found[1,2]. We study the quantum critical properties of the anisotropic BFKM with specified bath spectral function, where the spectrum of the bosonic bath vanishes in a power-law fashion with exponent $\gamma$ for small frequencies. Motivated by very recent results that the quantum to classical mapping for a related class of models fails[3,4]. We determine the critical local susceptibility using both the classical and quantum Monte Carlo approaches of Ref.5. Our results cover several values of $\gamma$ below and above the upper critical dimension of the classical model for temperatures down to 1\% of the bare Kondo scale. [1]D. Grempel and Q. Si, Phys.
