Figure 5: Critical scaling and quantum phase diagram.

From: Quantum criticality in an organic spin-liquid insulator κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3

Figure 5

(a) Scaling plot of the power-law component of the susceptibility multiplied by the power of temperature χcTγ against a magnetic field divided by temperature H/T. The data for both T≤0.07 K and μ0H≤1.2 T are excluded from the figure for clarity. The dashed curve shows a scaling function, f(x)=a(x2+b2)γ/2, where a and b represent certain constants, and x=(HHc)/T1/νz. Inset: the scaling plot of the data for the a*−b field rotation in the different sample. The s.d., σ, of the scaling for various values of (b) γ and νz, and (c) Hc, when the other two parameters are fixed. (d) Contour plot of χcT0.83 in the TH plane. The red and blue areas represent the quantum critical (QC) and quantum spin-liquid (QSL) regimes, respectively, which are bounded by the crossover region (yellow area). The scaling is broken in a low temperature and field region (shaded area).
