Quantum ferromagnet in the proximity of the tricritical point
Quantum phase transitions: Tuned in metallic ferromagnets Clean ferromagnetic systems are predicted to exhibit quantum phase transitions (QPTs) rather than critical points. QPTs happen at zero temperature due to quantum fluctuations between the phases, and can be triggered by non-thermal perturbatio...
