Title

Quantum criticality from sequential Kondo destruction in Ce3Pd20Si6

Abstract

Quantum criticality remains at the forefront of modern condensed matter physics, and is increasingly drawn upon to classify strongly correlated electron phases (ref. 1 of proposal). Of particular interest in heavy fermion compounds are Kondo destruction quantum critical points (QCPs), where electronic degrees of freedom are critical in addition to the (bosonic) order parameter fluctuations. The canonical situation that entails the spin Kondo effect has previously been observed by inelastic neutron scattering (refs. 2,3 of proposal), but it is unknown whether the orbital Kondo effect can undergo a similar transition. This is what we propose to study here, using the material Ce3Pd20Si6 where transport and thermodynamic data suggest such a situation to be realized (ref. 7 of proposal).
