We propose a theory of longitudinal resistivity in the normal phase of quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors near the quantum critical point where antiferromagnetism borders with superconductivity under pressure. The linearized semi-classical Boltzmann equation is solved numerically, fed in by the half-filling electronic umklapp scattering vertex as derived from one-loop renormalization group calculations for the quasi-one-dimensional electron gas model. The momentum and temperature dependence of umklapp scattering has an important impact on the behaviour of longitudinal resistivity in the the normal phase. Resistivity is found to be linear in temperature around the quantum critical point at which spin-density-wave order joins superconductivity along the antinesting axis, to gradually evolve towards the Fermi liquid behaviour in the limit of weak superconductivity. A comparison is made between theory and experiments performed on the (TMTSF)$_2$PF$_6$ member of the Bechgaard salt series under pressure.

We use the renormalization group method to study the normal state of quasi-one-dimensional superconductors nearby a spin-density-wave instability. On the basis of one-loop scattering amplitudes for the quasi-one-dimensional electron gas, the integrat
ion of the renormalization group equations for the two-loop single particle Matsubara self-energy leads to a nonFermi-liquid temperature downturn of the momentum-resolved quasi-particle weight over most part of the Fermi surface. The amplitude of the downturn correlates with the entire instability line for superconductivity, defining an extended quantum critical region of the phase diagram as a function of nesting deviations of the Fermi surface. One also extracts the downward renormalization of interchain hopping amplitudes at arbitrary low temperature in the normal phase. By means of analytical continuation of the Matsubara self-energy, one-particle spectral functions are obtained with respect to both energy and temperature and their anomalous features analyzed in connection with the sequence of instability lines of the phase diagram. The quasi-particle scattering rate is found to develop an unusual temperature dependence, which is best described by the superimposition of a linear and quadratic $T$ dependences. The nonFermi-liquid linear-$T$ component correlates with the temperature scale $T_c$ of the superconducting instability over an extended range of nesting deviations, whereas its anisotropy along the Fermi surface is predicted to parallel the momentum profile of a d-wave pairing gap on the Fermi surface. We examine the implications of our results for low dimensional unconventional superconductors, in particular the Bechgaard salts series of quasi-1D organic conductors, but also the pnictide and cuprate superconductors where several common features are observed.
In fermionic systems with different types of quasi-particles, attractive interactions can give rise to exotic superconducting states, as pair density wave (PDW) superconductivity and breached pairing. In the last years the search for these new types
of ground states in cold atom and in metallic systems has been intense. In the case of metals the different quasi-particles may be the up and down spin bands in an external magnetic field or bands arising from distinct atomic orbitals that coexist at a common Fermi surface. These systems present a complex phase diagram as a function of the difference between the Fermi wave-vectors of the different bands. This can be controlled by external means, varying the density in the two-component cold atom system or, in a metal, by applying an external magnetic field or pressure. Here we study the zero temperature instability of the normal system as the Fermi wave-vectors mismatch of the quasi-particles (bands) is reduced and find a second order quantum phase transition to a PDW superconducting state. From the nature of the quantum critical fluctuations close to the superconducting quantum critical point (SQCP), we obtain its dynamic critical exponent. It turns out to be $z=2$ and this allows to fully characterize the SQCP for dimensions $d ge 2$.
Two phase transitions in the tetragonal strongly correlated electron system CeNiAsO were probed by neutron scattering and zero field muon spin rotation. For $T <T_{N1}$ = 8.7(3) K, a second order phase transition yields an incommensurate spin density
wave with wave vector $textbf{k} = (0.44(4), 0, 0)$. For $T < T_{N2}$ = 7.6(3) K, we find co-planar commensurate order with a moment of $0.37(5)~mu_B$, reduced to $30 %$ of the saturation moment of the $|pmfrac{1}{2}rangle$ Kramers doublet ground state, which we establish by inelastic neutron scattering. Muon spin rotation in $rm CeNiAs_{1-x}P_xO$ shows the commensurate order only exists for x $le$ 0.1 so the transition at $x_c$ = 0.4(1) is from an incommensurate longitudinal spin density wave to a paramagnetic Fermi liquid.
We report the dielectric, magnetic, and ultrasonic properties of a one-dimensional organic salt TTF-QBr$_3$I. These indicate that TTF-QBr$_3$I shows a ferroelectric spin-Peierls (FSP) state in a quantum critical regime. In the FSP state, coupling of
charge, spin, and lattice leads to emergent excitation of spin solitons as topological defects. Amazingly, the solitons are highly mobile even at low temperatures, although they are normally stationary because of pinning. Our results suggest that strong quantum fluctuations enhanced near a quantum critical point enable soliton motion governed by athermal relaxation. This indicates the realization of quantum topological transport at ambient pressure.
Understanding electrical transport in strange metals, including the seeming universality of Planckian $T$-linear resistivity, remains a longstanding challenge in condensed matter physics. We propose that local imaging techniques, such as nitrogen vac
ancy center magnetometry, can locally identify signatures of quantum critical response which are invisible in measurements of a bulk electrical resistivity. As an illustrative example, we use a minimal holographic model for a strange metal in two spatial dimensions to predict how electrical current will flow in regimes dominated by quantum critical dynamics on the Planckian length scale. We describe the crossover between quantum critical transport and hydrodynamic transport (including Ohmic regimes), both in charge neutral and finite density systems. We compare our holographic predictions to experiments on charge neutral graphene, finding quantitative agreement with available data; we suggest further experiments which may determine the relevance of our framework to transport on Planckian scales in this material. More broadly, we propose that locally imaged transport be used to test the universality (or lack thereof) of microscopic dynamics in the diverse set of quantum materials exhibiting $T$-linear resistivity.
