Fluctuations can change the phase transition properties drastically. An example is the fermioninduced quantum critical point (FIQCP), in which fluctuations of the massless Dirac fermions turn a putative Landau-de Gennes first-order phase transition with a cubic boson interaction into a continuous one. Here, we report a new type of FIQCP. In this kind of FIQCP, the boson part falls into the Landau-Devonshire model with a negative quartic interaction and also hosts a firstorder phase transition. By using the functional renormalization group analysis, we show that this negative quartic boson coupling can be changed to be positive by fluctuations of the Dirac fermions, resulting a continuous phase transition, which belongs to the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa universality class. Moreover, we point out that the present FIQCP can be a supersymmetric critical point, which has been excluded in the previous case. We then show that the low-temperature phase diagram can provide sharp experimental evidences to detect the FIQCP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
