Abstract

We show that the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasua-Yoisida interaction between overscreened spins in two channel Kondo impurity systems is a relevant perturbation when the number of impurities N is greater than 3 driving the system to a new quantum critical point with anomalous dimensions 1(N+1)\frac{1}{ (N+1)} for the spin operator and the Sommerfeld coefficient of the specific heat scales as γT3N+1\gamma \sim T^{- \frac{3}{N+1}}. The critical point universal properties are relevant to many strong correlation problems, such as impurity placed in a Majorana metal and the multichannel Kondo lattice model of heavy fermion materials. We discuss relevance of our results for cluster DMFT studies of quantum criticality.
