摘要
The experimental existence and stability of the fixed point of the two-channel Kondo (2CK) effect displaying exotic non-Fermi liquid physics have been buried in persistent confusion despite the intensive theoretical and experimental efforts in past three decades. Here we report an experimental realization of the two-level system resonant scattering-induced orbital 2CK effect in a ferromagnetic L1(0)-MnGa film, which is signified by a magnetic field-independent resistivity upturn that has a logarithmic and a square-root temperature dependence beyond and below the Kondo temperature of similar to 14.5 K, respectively. Our results not only evidence the robust existence of orbital 2CK effect even in the presence of strong magnetic fields and long-range ferromagnetic ordering, but also extend the scope of 2CK host materials from nonmagnetic nanoscale point contacts to diffusive conductors of disordered alloys.
