Anomalous Transport Behavior in Quantum Magnets

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2018-10-12 v1

Abstract

Transport behavior characterized by a low-temperature electrical resistivity that displays a power-law behavior ρ(T0)Ts\rho(T\to 0) \propto T^s with an exponent s<2s<2, is commonly observed in magnetic materials in both the magnetic and nonmagnetic phases. We give a pedagogical overview of this phenomenon that summarizes both the experimental situation and the state of its theoretical understanding. We also put it in context by drawing parallels with unusual power-law transport behavior in other systems.
