Superconducting gap at a ferromagnetic quantum critical point — •Matthias Einenkel1, Hendrik Meier2, Catherine Pépin3, and Konstantin B. Efetov11Institut für Theoretische Physik III, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 44780 Bochum, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA — 3IPhT, CEA-Saclay, L'Orme des Merisiers, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, France

We discuss the quantum critical behaviour of a two-dimensional quantum ferromagnet in the context of the spin-fermion model. In this system fermions interact with critical bosonic excitations. We investigate the system by first performing a mean-field analysis, and show that close to the quantum critical point a superconducting gap appears which has spin triplet symmetry. Further, we calculate the action of the Goldstone modes associated with this symmetry breaking and derive a non-linear sigma model. These fluctuations turn out to be not suppressed by any small parameter and therefore eventually destroy the order. This reveals the failure of the large N expansion which was reported by previous works.
