Abstract

We apply conformal field theory analysis to the k-channel SU(N) Kondo system, and find a peculiar behavior in the cases N > k > 1, which we call Fermi/non-Fermi mixing: The low temperature scaling is described as the Fermi liquid, while the zero temperature infrared fixed point exhibits the non-Fermi liquid signature. We also show that the Wilson ratio is no longer universal for the cases N > k > 1. The deviation from the universal value of the Wilson ratio could be used as an experimental signal of the Fermi/non-Fermi mixing.
