Planckian Metal at a Doping-Induced Quantum Critical Point

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2022-06-07 v2

Abstract

We numerically study a model of interacting spin-1/21/2 electrons with random exchange coupling on a fully connected lattice. This model hosts a quantum critical point separating two distinct metallic phases as a function of doping: a Fermi liquid phase with a large Fermi surface volume and a low-doping phase with local moments ordering into a spin-glass. We show that this quantum critical point has non-Fermi liquid properties characterized by TT-linear Planckian behavior, ω/T\omega/T scaling and slow spin dynamics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) type. The ω/T\omega/T scaling function associated with the electronic self-energy is found to have an intrinsic particle-hole asymmetry, a hallmark of a `skewed' non-Fermi liquid.
