Abstract

Quantum critical phenomena influences the finite temperature behavior of condensed matter systems through quantum critical fans whose extents are determined by the exponents of the zero temperature criticality. Here we emphasize the aspects of quantum critical lines, as discussed previously, and study an exactly solved model involving a transverse field Ising model with added three-spin interaction. This model has three critical lines. We compute the spin-spin correlation function and extract the correlation length, and identify the crossovers: quantum critical to quantum disordered, or renormalized classical regimes. We construct the quantum critical fans along one of the critical lines. In addition, we also construct finite temperature dynamic structure factors. We hope this model will become experimentally realizable in the future, and our results could stimulate studies in many similar models.
