Landau Fermi liquid theory predicts that the differential conductivity between metallic point and metal is a symmetric function of voltage bias V. This symmetry holds if the particle-hole symmetry is preserved. We show that the situation…
Several heavy-fermion metals display a quantum phase transition from an antiferromagnetic metal to a heavy Fermi liquid. In some materials, however, recent experiments seem to find that the heavy Fermi liquid phase can be directly tuned…

In high transition temperature (T_c) superconductivity, charge doping is a natural tuning parameter that takes copper oxides from the antiferromagnet to the superconducting region. In the metallic state above T_c the standard Landau's…
