AbstractLog-periodic quantum oscillations discovered in transition-metal pentatelluride give a clear demonstration of discrete scale invariance (DSI) in solid-state materials. The peculiar phenomenon is convincingly interpreted as the presence of two-body quasi-bound states in a Coulomb potential. However, the modifications of the Coulomb interactions in many-body systems having a Dirac-like spectrum are not fully understood. Here, we report the observation of tunable log-periodic oscillations and DSI in ZrTe5 and HfTe5 flakes. By reducing the flakes thickness, the characteristic scale factor is tuned to a much smaller value due to the reduction of the vacuum polarization effect. The decreasing of the scale factor demonstrates the many-body effect on the DSI, which has rarely been discussed hitherto. Furthermore, the cut-offs of oscillations are quantitatively explained by considering the Thomas-Fermi screening effect. Our work clarifies the many-body effect on DSI and paves a way to tune the DSI in quantum materials.

We present an overview of some recent developments in the theoretical modeling of transition-metal systems, particularly the ultrathin-film structures, focusing on the effects of electron-electron interactions. We describe the progress in the understanding of how to model realistic strongly correlated electron systems using and going beyond the local-density-approximation single-particle electronic structures. Results of exact many-body calculations of photoemission and inverse photoemission spectra of ultrathin nickel, iron and cobalt films are shown to illustrate the application of our approach. Interesting new features induced by many-body effects are found and discussed. Comparison with available experimental results is presented and further work, both experimental and theoretical, is suggested.
