Examples in Context

  1. A zero-temperature quantum critical point holds the key to understanding a wide range of behavior in many condensed matter systems. Examples include rare-earth magnetic insulators, high-temperature superconductors and two-dimensional electron gases.
  2. Further comparison of doping and temperature dependent date, we obtain the electron behaviors near the quantum critical point and the quantum ground state.
  3. Recently, it was discovered that, near the quantum critical point the QPT system possesses the ultra-sensitivity in its dynamical evolution.
