Abstract

We theoretically study the two-dimensional metal that is coupled to critical magnons and features van Hove singularities on the Fermi surface. When there is only translationally invariant SYK-liked Yukawa interaction, van Hove points suppress the contribution from the part of the Fermi surface away from them, dominating and exhibiting non-Fermi-liquid behavior. When introducing disordered Yukawa coupling, it leads to a crossover from non-Fermi-liquid to marginal-Fermi-liquid, and the marginal-Fermi-liquid region exhibits the Tln(1/T)T\ln (1/T) specific heat and temperature-linear resistivity of strange metal. By solving the gap equation, we provide the critical temperature for superconductor induced by van Hove singularities and point out the possible emergence of pair-density-wave superconductor. Our theory may become a new mechanism for understanding non-Fermi-liquid or marginal-Fermi-liquid phenomenons.
