In the weak-coupling regime α 〈 αc, these functions show power law ω-dependence in the small frequency limit, with the powers 1 ＋ 2s, 1 ＋ 2s, and s, respectively. At the critical point α = αc of the boson-unstable quantum phase transition, the critical exponents yO of these correlation functions are obtained as yσx= yσz= 1-2s and yX=-s, respectively. Here s is the bath index and X is the boson displacement operator. Close to the spin flip point, the high frequency peak of Cσx（ω） is broadened significantly and the line shape changes qualitatively, showing enhanced dephasing at the spin flip point.展开更多

The small-ω behavior C（ω） ∝ ω～s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α（except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0）. Our NRG data also show C（ω） ∝ χ～2ω～s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime（ε = 0 and α 〉 αc）, supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C（ω） on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω0^＊of the unbiased case. C（ω） is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε^＊. For ε 》ε^＊, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε^＊∝（ω0^＊）^1/θ holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 〈 1, with θ = 2/（3s） for 0 〈 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/（1 ＋ s） for 1/2 〈 s 〈 1. The variation of C（ω） with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.展开更多
