  Fermi liquid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In particular, the electrons in a normal metal form a Fermi liquid, as well as the atoms of liquid He-3 (He-3 is an isotope of Helium, with 2 protons, 1 neutron and 2 electrons per atom.
The Fermi liquid is qualitatively analogous to the non-interacting Fermi-gas, in the following sense: The system's dynamics and thermodynamics at low excitation energies and temperatures may be described by substituting for the non-interacting fermions so-called quasiparticles, each of which carries the same spin, charge and momentum as the original particles.
The quadratic terms correspond to a sort of "mean-field" interaction between quasiparticles, which is parameterized by so-called Landau Fermi liquid parameters and determines the behaviour of density oscillations (and spin-density oscillations) in the Fermi liquid.

Instead, the change in energy for a given change \delta n_k in occupation of states k contains terms both linear and quadratic in \delta n_k (for the Fermi gas, it would only be linear, \delta n_k \epsilon_k, where \epsilon_k denotes the single-particle energies).
The distribution of particles (as opposed to quasiparticles) over momentum states at zero temperature still shows a discontinuous jump at the Fermi surface (as in the Fermi gas), but it does not drop from 1 to 0: the step is only of size Z.
For a Fermi liquid, the resistance from this mechanism varies as T^2, which is often taken as an experimental check for Fermi liquid behaviour (in addition to the linear temperature-dependence of the specific heat), although it only arises in combination with the lattice.

 Condensed Matter and Material
Nowadays, the quest for departures from the conventional Fermi liquid behavior is considered one of the central topics in modern condensed matter physics.
The general consensus is that the Fermi liquid can be more readily destroyed in low dimensions and/or in the vicinity of critical points where the fluctuations of an incipient order parameter become important.
In one spatial dimension, the Fermi liquid theory utterly fails even for a seemingly innocuous arbitrary weak short-range repulsion between the electrons.

 Fermi liquid theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Loosely speaking, the following conditions are usually to be fulfilled in order to have a Fermi liquid: The system of interacting fermions is cooled to low-enough temperatures, the interaction between them isn't too strong and the system is translationally invariant (such that momentum is conserved).
The distribution of particles (as opposed to quasiparticles) over momentum states at zero temperature still shows a discontinuous jump at the Fermi surface (as in the Fermi gas), but it doesn't drop from 1 to 0: the step is only of size Z.

 luttinger
Fermi liquid theory based on a quasi-particle picture, breaks down in one dimension because of the Peierls divergence and because of charge-spin separation.
Fermi liquids are discussed both from a phenomenological viewpoint, in relation to microscopic approaches, and as renormalization group fixed points.
Luttinger liquids are introduced using the bosonization formalism, and their essential differences with Fermi liquids are pointed out.

 Nobel laureate Cronin edits book on Fermi’s legacy
Physicists speak of Fermi acceleration and Fermi liquid, Fermi pressure and Fermi gas, the Fermi paradox and Fermi questions, the Fermi-Thomas model of the atom and the Fermi-Turkevich gap.
Among Fermi’s early accomplishments was to apply quantum mechanics, which explains the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles, to the physics of solids and gases, Cronin said.
Fermi went on to earn the Nobel Prize in 1938 for his discovery of new radioactive elements produced by the addition of neutrons to the cores of other atoms, and for the discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slowly moving neutrons.

It is possible to (partially) classify such spin liquid phases in terms of the symmetry group of the emergent gauge theory.
Despite the increased complexity of the algebraic spin liquids compared with their boring simple minded cousins (the topologically ordered spin liquids), the existing data on these two materials appear to be more consistent with the former class.
This 3d spin liquid is stable to all perturbations, and supports gapped $S^z = 1/2$ spinons, a gapped topological point defect or ``magnetic'' monopole, and a gapless ``photon''.

 Current Projects: Maple Group - UCSD Physics
ermi liquid (FL) theory explains how in crystals, despite interactions with each other and the crystal lattice, conduction electrons still behave as though they are free (non-interacting) particles, although quantities like their effective mass are rescaled.
However, in the vicinity of a quantum critical point (QCP), the physical properties no longer conform to FL theory and are said to display non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior.
QCPs are values of chemical concentration, pressure, or magnetic field where a second-order phase transition has been suppressed to 0 K. At low temperatures, the NFL characteristics in the physical properties take the form of weak power-law or logarithmic divergences in their temperature dependence.

 Nuggets 4
At low temperatures and in strong magnetic fields, the electronic carriers in these devices exhibit well-defined ``quantum'' phases---in close analogy, for example, to the solid (ice), liquid, and gas (steam) phases of water.
Several of these phases can be beautifully mapped out by measuring a phase diagram [Figure 1(b)] at very low temperature (25 milliKelvin) as a function of two important variables: magnetic field (inversely related to the y-axis) and Coulomb repulsion energy (related to the x-axis).
As the bilayer system is thus imbalanced, the insulating phase is destroyed, providing further evidence for a correlated bilayer electron crystal, an elusive new state of matter.

ARPES spectra of correlated materials, shown by other measurements to be Fermi liquids, have yet to show a linewidth that is narrower than the binding energy of the quasiparticle -- a key prediction of Fermi liquid theory.
We find that the ARPES linewidth in Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, a correlated 2-dimensional Fermi liquid, is narrower than its binding energy, and decreases with the expected functional form as the Fermi energy is approached.
In combination with the previously determined Fermi surface, these results give the first complete picture of a Fermi liquid via ARPES.

 Vladimir P. Mineev: On the theory of polarized Fermi liquid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The polarization dependence of both dissipative and reactive part of diffusion constant corresponds to the dependences found earlier by means of kinetic equation with a two-particle collision integral.
It is shown that similar derivation for "ferromagnetic Fermi" liquid taking into consideration the divergency of static transverse susceptibility, also leads to the same attenuating spin wave spectrum.
Hence, in both cases we deal in fact with spin polarized Fermi liquid but not with isotropic itinerant ferromagnet where the zero temperature attenuation is prohibited by the Goldstone theorem.

Quantum Geometry" of the Fermi Surface: Berry Phases are a New Ingredient in the Fermi-liquid Theory of Metals
The intrinsic Hall conductivity is a quantum property of these two Fermi-surface geometries, given by a new formula as fundamental as the Luttinger Fermi-surface volume formula.
An immediate experimental consequence is the resolution of the 50-year-old puzzle of the "anomalous Hall effect" in ferromagnetic metals -- an extra intrinsic dissipationless Hall current proportional to the magnetization.

The Fermi liquid fixed point Hamiltonian with its leading order corrections is identified and we show that the mean field calculations for this model correspond to the Landau phenomenological approach.
This is illustrated first of all for the Kondo and Anderson models of magnetic impurities which display Fermi liquid behaviour at low temperatures.
The parameters specifying the Fermi liquid fixed point Hamiltonian are related to the renormalized vertices appearing in the perturbation theory.

 Lecture 22: Strongly-Correlated Systems - Oververview - The "Luttinger Theorem"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A Fermi liquid is one in which the self-energy is finite and has finite derivatives at the Fermi energy: then there is a jump in the occupation n(k) at the Fermi surface just as a non-interacting system, but with a reduced value in the jump.
A remarkable result proved by Luttinger is that IF the self-energy has this form, then the volume of the Fermi surface is exactly the same as a non-interacting system.
It is useful to note [Martin, 1982] that the Luttinger sum rule on the Fermi surface in crystals is completely analogous to the Friedel sum rule for impurities, in which cases one does have exact solutions that have Fermi liquid behavior.

I will show a microscopic theory of the electronic nematic Fermi liquid where the system of interacting fermions spontaneously breaks the rotational symmetry while the translational symmetry is preserved.
A consequence of the nematic order in the context of the sound propagation and the pairing instability in the nematic state will be presented.
I will also discuss the breakdown of the Fermi liquid theory in these types of ground states, and the theoretical studies to understand the underlying mechanism of exotic orderings and their electronic properties.

 Rigorous non-Fermi liquid type behaviour in normal phase and two spatial dimensions (P. Gurin and Zs. Gulácsi)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Continuing the study of the periodic Anderson model based on a decomposition of the Hamiltonian in positive semidefinite operators [1], we have find [2] a non-Fermi liquid type normal phase in 2D, which is a noninsulating and nonmagnetic state.
From mathematical point of view it emerges during an exact decomposition of the 2D periodic Anderson Hamiltonian written in the direct space into a quadratic self-adjoint plaquette operator contribution in case of imaginary hybridization matrix elements (the Hamiltonian remaining hermitian).
During excitations, quasiparticles above the Fermi level will not be present, and only the number of particles on the Fermi level increases in the detriment of the lower normal band with dispersion.

The workshop's primary objective was to provide a status report on this rapidly developing subject.
More specifically, the stated goal was: The workshop will address the mechanisms for non-Fermi liquid behavior in strongly correlated electron systems, with an emphasis on the extent to which the notion of quantum criticality plays a role.
The organizers believe that, the success of these topical discussions is due in part to the focused nature of the workshop subject.
