We study the renormalization of a non-magnetic impuritys scattering potential due to the presence of a massless collective spin mode at a ferromagnetic quantum critical point. To this end, we compute the lowest order vertex corrections in two- and three-dimensional systems, for arbitrary scattering angle and frequency of the scattered fermions, as well as band curvature. We show that only for backward scattering in D=2 does the lowest order vertex correction diverge logarithmically in the zero frequency limit. In all other cases, the vertex corrections approach a finite (albeit possibly large) value in the zero frequency limit. We demonstrate that vertex corrections are strongly suppressed with increasing curvature of the fermionic bands. Moreover, we show how the frequency dependence of vertex corrections varies with the scattering angle. We also discuss the form of higher order ladder vertex corrections and show that they can be classified according to the zero-frequency limit of the lowest order vertex correction. We show that even in those cases where the latter is finite, summing up an infinite series of ladder vertex diagrams can lead to a strong enhancement (or divergence) of the impuritys scattering potential. Finally, we suggest that the combined frequency and angular dependence of vertex corrections might be experimentally observable via a combination of frequency dependent and local measurements, such as scanning tunneling spectroscopy on ordered impurity structures, or measurements of the frequency dependent optical conductivity.

A spin-orbit coupled quantum wire, with one end proximate to an s-wave superconductor, can become a topological superconductor, with a Majorana mode localized at each end of the superconducting region. It was recently shown that coupling one end of s
uch a topological superconductor to $two$ normal channels of interacting electrons leads to a novel type of frustration and a quantum critical point when both channels couple with equal strength. We propose an experimental method to access this critical point in a $single$ quantum wire and show its resilience to disorder.
We construct a two-dimensional lattice model of fermions coupled to Ising ferromagnetic critical fluctuations. Using extensive sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the model realizes a continuous itinerant quantum phase tra
nsition. In comparison with other similar itinerant quantum critical points (QCPs), our QCP shows much weaker superconductivity tendency with no superconducting state down to the lowest temperature investigated, hence making the system a good platform for the exploration of quantum critical fluctuations. Remarkably, clear signatures of non-Fermi-liquid behavior in the fermion propagators are observed at the QCP. The critical fluctuations at the QCP partially resemble Hertz-Millis-Moriya behavior. However, careful scaling analysis reveals that the QCP belongs to a different universality class, deviating from both (2+1)d Ising and Hertz-Millis-Moriya predictions.
We investigate the many-body effects of a magnetic adatom in ferromagnetic graphene by using the numerical renormalization group method. The nontrivial band dispersion of ferromagnetic graphene gives rise to interesting Kondo physics different from t
hat in conventional ferromagnetic materials. For a half-filled impurity in undoped graphene, the presence of ferromagnetism can bring forth Kondo correlations, yielding two kink structures in the local spectral function near the Fermi energy. When the spin splitting of local occupations is compensated by an external magnetic field, the two Kondo kinks merge into a full Kondo resonance characterizing the fully screened ground state. Strikingly, we find the resulting Kondo temperature monotonically increases with the spin polarization of Dirac electrons, which violates the common sense that ferromagnetic bands are usually detrimental to Kondo correlations. Doped ferromagnetic graphene can behave as half metals, where its density of states at the Fermi energy linearly vanishes for one spin direction but keeps finite for the opposite direction. In this regime, we demonstrate an abnormal Kondo resonance that occurs in the first spin direction, while completely absent in the other one.
We investigate the impacts of combination of fermion-fermion interactions and impurity scatterings on the low-energy stabilities of two-dimensional asymmetric materials with a quadratic band crossing point by virtue of the renormalization group that
allows us to treat distinct sorts of physical ingredients on the same footing. The coupled flow evolutions of all interaction parameters which carry the central physical information are derived by taking into account one-loop corrections. Several intriguing results are manifestly extracted from these entangled evolutions. At first, we realize that the quadratic band touching structure is particularly robust once the fermionic couplings flow toward the Gaussian fixed point. Otherwise, it can either be stable or broken down against the impurity scattering in the vicinity of nontrivial fixed points. In addition, we figure out two parameters $eta$ and $lambda$ that measure rotational and particle-hole asymmetries are closely energy-dependent and exhibit considerably abundant behaviors depending upon the fates of fermion-fermion couplings and different types of impurities. Incidentally, as both $eta$ and $lambda$ can be remarkably increased or heavily reduced in the low-energy regime, an asymmetric system under certain restricted conditions exhibits an interesting phenomenon in which transitions either from rotational or particle-hole asymmetry to symmetric situation would be activated.
Motivated by recent experiments, we study a quasi-one dimensional model of a Kondo lattice with Ferromagnetic coupling between the spins. Using bosonization and dynamical large-N techniques we establish the presence of a Fermi liquid and a magnetic p
hase separated by a local quantum critical point, governed by the Kondo breakdown picture. Thermodynamic properties are studied and a gapless charged mode at the quantum critical point is highlighted.
