Non-Fermi-liquid at (2+1)d ferromagnetic quantum critical point

2016 
We construct a two-dimensional lattice model of fermions coupled to Ising ferromagnetic critical fluctuations. Using extensive sign problem-free quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the model realizes a continuous itinerant quantum phase transition. Remarkably, clear signatures of non-Fermi-liquid behavior in the fermion propagators are observed at the quantum critical point (QCP). The critical fluctuations at the QCP partially resemble Hertz-Millis-Moriya behavior. However, careful scaling analysis reveals that the QCP belongs to a different universality class, deviating from both (2+1)d Ising and Hertz-Millis-Moriya predictions.
