Abstract

We study the effects of spin-antisymmetric interactions on the stability of a Landau-Fermi liquid on the square lattice, using the generalized Pomeranchuk method for two-dimensional lattice systems. In particular, we analyze interactions that could induce instabilities of the so called spin-split type, that is when spin-up and spin-down Fermi surfaces are displaced with respect to each other. The phase space is studied as a function of the strength of the interaction VV, the electron chemical potential μ\mu and an external magnetic field hh. We find that such interactions produce in general an enhancement of the instability region of the Landau-Fermi liquid. More interestingly, in certain regions of the VV-μ\mu phase space, we find a reentrant behaviour as a function of the magnetic field hh, similar to that found in recent experiments, e.g. in URu2_2Si2_2 and Sr3_3Ru2_2O7_7.
