近藤効果: 磁性不純物の入った金の電気抵抗の低温で の振る舞い
出典: フリー百科事典『ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 近藤効果(こんどうこうか、Kondo effect)と は、磁性を持った極微量な不純物(普通磁性のある 鉄原子など)がある金属では、温度を下げていくと ある温度以下で電気抵抗が上昇に転じる現象であ る。これは通常の金属の、温度を下げていくとその 電気抵抗も減少していくという一般的な性質とは異 なっている。現象そのものは電気抵抗極小現象とよ ばれ、1930年頃から知られていたが、その物理的 機構は1964年に日本の近藤淳が初めて理論的に解 明した[1]。近藤はこの仕事により1973年に日本学 士院恩賜賞を受章した。

金属は電圧を加えると、金属内の伝導電子が加速され電流が流れる。これを電気伝導という。 一方で、この伝導電子には電気抵抗がはたらく。金属の電気抵抗の主な要因は、金属内に含まれる不純 物などによる格子欠陥と、原子の熱振動の2つである。不純物による抵抗は温度に依存せず一定であ る。熱振動による抵抗は、温度を下げると小さくなり、低温では抵抗は温度Tの5乗に比例する。そのた め、金属の電気抵抗は通常、温度を下げると減少し、絶対零度で、一定値(=不純物による抵抗値)に落 ち着く。 しかし、金属によっては、ある温度までは温度が下がると電気抵抗も減少するが、さらに温度を下げる と電気抵抗は逆に増大するという、通常では起こりえないふるまいを見せる。この現象は、1933年、 ド・ハース、ド・ブール、ファン・デン・バーグが、金の電気抵抗を測定したときに初めて観測され た[2]。 その後の研究により、この現象は金(Au)、銀(Ag)、銅(Cu)などに鉄(Fe)、マンガン(Mn)、クロム(Cr)な どの磁性不純物を微量に加えた金属で起こることが明らかになった。

The strength of the q-Q interaction increases as the energy scale decreases, and the system becomes non-perturbative one below the Kondo scale. This indicates a change of mobility of light quarks.

IR behaviors of QCD Kondo effect (k-channel SU(N) Kondo effect) (k >= N) (N > k >1)
Fermi/non-Fermi mixing
We apply CFT approach to QCD Kondo effect and investigate its IR behaviors below the Kondo scale. In the vicinity of IR fixed point, QCD Kondo effect shows Fermi/ non-Fermi mixing for Nc > 2Nf, while it shoes non-Fermi liquid behaviors for 2Nf >= Nc. We propose QCD Kondo effect appearing at high density quark matter and in strong magnetic fields.
