Anisotropy-driven quantum criticality in an intermediate valence system

The nature of quantum criticality in intermetallic f-electron compounds exhibiting valence fluctuations is not well understood. Here, using a combination of experimental techniques, the authors attribute quantum criticality in YbAlB4 to the anisotropic hybridization between the conduction and f-elec...
