Here, at the QTCP, a continuous phase transition changes into first order at zero temperature. The non-Fermi-liquid behaviors of YbRh2Si2 are puzzling in two aspects; diverging ferromagnetic susceptibility at the antiferromagnetic transition and unconventional power-law dependence in thermodynamic quantities. These puzzles are solved by an unconventional criticality derived from our spin fluctuation theory for the QTCP.4 pages, 3 figuresStrongly Correlated ElectronsStatistical MechanicsYbRh2Si2: Quantum tricritical behavior in itinerant electron systemstext
