Inhomogeneous Phase Formation on the Border of Itinerant Ferromagnetism
Inhomogeneous Phase Formation on the Border of Itinerant Ferromagnetism
A variety of analytical techniques suggest that quantum fluctuations lead to a fundamental instability of the Fermi liquid that drives ferromagnetic transitions first order at low temperatures. We present both analytical and numerical evidence that, driven by the same quantum fluctuations, this first order transition is preempted by the formation …
