Key Points

  • The Ruderman-Kittel-Kasua-Yoisida interaction drives the system to a new quantum critical point with unique properties.
  • Anomalous dimensions for the spin operator scale as 1/(N+1), indicating changes with increasing impurities.
  • Implications relate to various strong correlation problems, including heavy fermion materials and Majorana metals.
  • Findings are relevant for cluster DMFT studies, emphasizing importance in examining quantum criticality.

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) for the spin operator and the Sommerfeld coefficient of the specific heat scales as T^-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.
