  1. Breakdown of the Kondo effect at an antiferromagnetic instability F. Steglich MPI for Chemical Physics of Solids, 01187 Dresden, Germany • Outline • HF quantum critical points (QCPs) • Kondo breakdown QCP in YbRh2Si2 • Superconductivity in YbRh2Si2? Collaboration MPI CPfS: M. Brando, S. Ernst, C. Geibel, S. Hartmann, S. Kirchner, C. Krellner, S. Lausberg, H. Pfau, L. Steinke, O. Stockert, S. Wirth TU Braunschweig: G. Zwicknagl U. Goettingen: P. Gegenwart, TU Vienna: J. Custers, S. Paschen U. Cambridge: S. Friedemann, F.M. Grosche Rice U.: Q. Si Rutgers U.: P. Coleman Zhejiang U.: H.Q. Yuan

  2. Two types of QCPs [P. Gegenwart, Q. Si & F.S., Nature Phys. 4, 186 (2008)] SDW QCP(Hertz, Millis, Moriya…) Kondo breakdown at AF QCP(Si et al., Coleman et al., 2001) exemplary material: CeCu2Si2 TK≈ 15 K YbRh2Si2 TK ≈ 30 K cf. O. Stockert‘s talk

  3. Emerging local Kondo screening and spatial coherence in the HF metal YbRh2Si2 [S. Ernst et al., Nature 474, 362 (2011), cf. S. Wirth‘s talk] Hierarchy of energy scales from STS J = 7/2 CEF splitting 17, 25 & 43 meV [INS, O. Stockert et al., Physica B 378, 157 (’06)] single-ion TK TK,high 100 K TK,low  30 K [TEP, U. Koehler et al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 104412 (’08)] Kondo-lattice temperature TL TK,low

  4. YbRh2Si2: T – B phase diagram[J. Custers et al., Nature 424, 524 (2003);T. Westerkamp, Dissertation, TU Dresden (2008)] Seff = 1/2

  5. Crossed-field Hall-effect results[S. Friedemann et al., PNAS 107, 14547 (2010)] RH(B2) = lim ρH(B1, B2)/B1 B1→ 0 solid lines:

  6. Fermi surface collapse [S. Friedemann et al., PNAS 107, 14547 (2010)] Crossover position T*(B) Crossover width FWHM ~ T ω/T scaling (Q. Si, S. Kirchner) T*(B) agrees with data from ρ, λ, M (P. Gegenwart et al., Science 315, 969 (2007))

  7. Specific heat of YbRh2Si2under hydrostatic pressure p ≤ 1.4 GPa[R. Borth, M. Nicklas, unpublished]

  8. TN anomaly in C(T)/T in Yb(Rh1-xCox)2Si2[C. Krellner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 196402 (2009); Phys. Stat. Solidi B 247, 734 (2010)] C±(t) = A± α-1│t│- α + b + E · t; t = (T - TN)/TN; +: t > 0; -: t < 0 x = 0.38 α = 0.38 α = -0.12 δTN/TN = 5 ·10-3

  9. Specific heat (B = 0) [J. Custers et al., Nature 424, 524 (2003)] ΔC = C – Cph – CQ = γT+βT3 γ ≈ 1.7 J/K2mole Magnon contribution Cm (~κm) = β T3
