Abstract

We study quantum criticality in the doped two-dimensional periodic Anderson model with the hybridization acting as a tuning parameter. Employing the dynamical vertex approximation we find two distinct quantum critical behaviors. One is a quantum critical point between the antiferromagnetically ordered and the Kondo state, both metallic with itinerant ff electrons. Here, we obtained the critical exponent γ1\gamma \approx 1 for the temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic susceptibility. We observe a \emph{second} quantum critical behavior with γ=2\gamma=2 above the continuing zero-temperature magnetic order, at a quantum critical point where the ff electrons turn from localized to itinerant.
