Quantum phase transitions arise in many-body systems because of competing interactions
that promote rivaling ground states. Recent years have seen the identification of continuous …

An introductory survey of the theoretical ideas and calculations and the experimental results
which depart from Landau Fermi liquids is presented. The common themes and possible …

When a metal undergoes a continuous quantum phase transition, non-Fermi-liquid
behaviour arises near the critical point. All the low-energy degrees of freedom induced by …

The specific heat C and electrical resistivity ρ of the heavy-fermion alloy CeCu 5.9 Au 0.1
exhibit non-Fermi-liquid behavior well below 1 K, ie, C/T∝-ln (T/T 0) and ρ= ρ 0+ A'T, over …

In this review, we summarize the present status of theories of the spin fluctuation (SF)
mechanism in explaining anomalous or non-Fermi liquid behaviours and unconventional …

Quantum phase transitions are strongly relevant in a number of fields, ranging from
condensed matter to cold atom physics and quantum field theory. This book, now in its …

This review discusses the heavy-electron compounds and related materials from the
perspective of their electrodynamic response. The investigation of the electrodynamic …

We show how a model of disordered Anderson lattices can account for many non-Fermi-
liquid features observed in some Kondo alloys. Because of the exponential nature of the …

We present a general model of disorder in Kondo alloys that, under certain conditions, leads
to non-Fermi-liquid behaviour. The central underlying idea is the presence of a distribution …

We present a pedagogical and critical overview of the two-channel Kondo model and its
possible relevance to a number of non-Fermi-liquid alloys and compounds. We survey the …
