It is shown theoretically that in strongly correlated electron systems, near the quantum critical end point where the critical end point of the first-order transition is suppressed to absolute zero, new quantum critical phenomena emerge. Near the quantum critical end point of the first-order valence transition, as temperature is decreased, uniform magnetic susceptibility and nuclear magnetic relaxation rate show divergence, resistivity shows a T-linear dependence, and electronic specific-heat coefficient shows logarithmic divergence. These results naturally explain unconventional quantum critical phenomena observed recently in paramagnetic-metal phases in Ce-and Yb-based heavy electron systems.

从理论上讲，在密切相关的电子系统中，在量子临界端点附近，将一阶跃迁的临界终点抑制至绝对零，新的量子关键现象出现。在一阶价值转变的量子临界端点附近，随着温度的降低，均匀的磁化率和核磁弛豫速率显示出差异，电阻率显示出T线性依赖性，并且电子特异性热系数显示出对数差异。这些结果自然解释了最近在CE和基于YB的重型电子系统中，在顺磁性金属相中观察到的非常规的量子关键现象。
