Abstract

En 中文
We study the effect of quenched disorder on the semimetal-superconductor quantum phase transition in a model of two-dimensional Dirac semimetal with N flavors of two-component Dirac fermions, using perturbative renormalization group methods at one-loop order in a double epsilon expansion. For N >= 2 we find that the Harris-stable clean critical behavior gives way, past a certain critical disorder strength, to a finite-disorder critical point characterized by non-Gaussian critical exponents, a noninteger dynamic critical exponent z > 1, and a finite Yukawa coupling between Dirac fermions and bosonic order parameter fluctuations. For N >= 7 the disordered quantum critical point is described by a renormalization group fixed point of stable-focus type and exhibits oscillatory corrections to scaling.
