We compute the transition temperature $T_c$ and the Ginzburg temperature $T_{rm G}$ above $T_c$ near a quantum critical point at the boundary of an ordered phase with a broken discrete symmetry in a two-dimensional metallic electron system. Our calculation is based on a renormalization group analysis of the Hertz action with a scalar order parameter. We provide analytic expressions for $T_c$ and $T_{rm G}$ as a function of the non-thermal control parameter for the quantum phase transition, including logarithmic corrections. The Ginzburg regime between $T_c$ and $T_{rm G}$ occupies a sizable part of the phase diagram.

We use a quantum Monte Carlo method to calculate the Neel temperature T_N of weakly coupled S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic layers consisting of coupled ladders. This system can be tuned to different two-dimensional scaling regimes for T > T_N. In
a single-layer mean-field theory, chi_s^{2D}(T_N)=(z_2J)^{-1}, where chi_s^{2D} is the exact staggered susceptibility of an isolated layer, J the inter-layer coupling, and z_2=2 the layer coordination number. With a renormalized z_2, we find that this relationship applies not only in the renormalized-classical regime, as shown previously, but also in the quantum-critical regime and part of the quantum-disordered regime. The renormalization is nearly constant; k_2 ~ 0.65-0.70. We also study other universal scaling functions.
We study the properties of $s$-wave superconductivity induced around a nematic quantum critical point in two-dimensional metals. The strong Landau damping and the Cooper pairing between incoherent fermions have dramatic mutual influence on each other
, and hence should be treated on an equal footing. This problem is addressed by analyzing the self-consistent Dyson-Schwinger equations for the superconducting gap and Landau damping rate. We solve the equations at zero temperature without making any linearization, and show that the superconducting gap is maximized at the quantum critical point and decreases rapidly as the system departs from this point. The interplay between nematic fluctuation and an additional pairing interaction, caused by phonon or other boson mode, is also investigated. The total superconducting gap generated by such interplay can be several times larger than the direct sum of the gaps separately induced by these two pairing interactions. This provides a promising way to achieve remarkable enhancement of superconductivity.
In metals near a quantum critical point, the electrical resistance is thought to be determined by the lifetime of the carriers of current, rather than the scattering from defects. The observation of $T$-linear resistivity suggests that the lifetime o
nly depends on temperature, implying the vanishing of an intrinsic energy scale and the presence of a quantum critical point. Our data suggest that this concept extends to the magnetic field dependence of the resistivity in the unconventional superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_2$ near its quantum critical point. We find that the lifetime depends on magnetic field in the same way as it depends on temperature, scaled by the ratio of two fundamental constants $mu_B/k_B$. These measurements imply that high magnetic fields probe the same quantum dynamics that give rise to the $T$-linear resistivity, revealing a novel kind of magnetoresistance that does not depend on details of the Fermi surface, but rather on the balance of thermal and magnetic energy scales. This opens new opportunities for the investigation of transport near a quantum critical point by using magnetic fields to couple selectively to charge, spin and spatial anisotropies.
Two-dimensional Dirac fermions are subjected to two types of interactions, namely the long-range Coulomb interaction and the short-range on-site interaction. The former induces excitonic pairing if its strength $alpha$ is larger than some critical va
lue $alpha_c$, whereas the latter drives an antiferromagnetic Mott transition when its strength $U$ exceeds a threshold $U_c$. Here, we study the impacts of the interplay of these two interactions on excitonic pairing with the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach. We find that the critical value $alpha_c$ is increased by weak short-range interaction. As $U$ increases to approach $U_c$, the quantum fluctuation of antiferromagnetic order parameter becomes important and interacts with the Dirac fermions via the Yukawa coupling. After treating the Coulomb interaction and Yukawa coupling interaction on an equal footing, we show that $alpha_c$ is substantially increased as $U rightarrow U_c$. Thus, the excitonic pairing is strongly suppressed near the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. We obtain a global phase diagram on the $U$-$alpha$ plane, and illustrate that the excitonic insulating and antiferromagnetic phases are separated by an intermediate semimetal phase. These results provide a possible explanation of the discrepancy between recent theoretical progress on excitonic gap generation and existing experiments in suspended graphene.
We consider the finite-temperature phase diagram of the $S = 1/2$ frustrated Heisenberg bilayer. Although this two-dimensional system may show magnetic order only at zero temperature, we demonstrate the presence of a line of finite-temperature critic
al points related to the line of first-order transitions between the dimer-singlet and -triplet regimes. We show by high-precision quantum Monte Carlo simulations, which are sign-free in the fully frustrated limit, that this critical point is in the Ising universality class. At zero temperature, the continuous transition between the ordered bilayer and the dimer-singlet state terminates on the first-order line, giving a quantum critical end point, and we use tensor-network calculations to follow the first-order discontinuities in its vicinity.
