With Spring 15, you can create "Duplicate Rules" and "Matching Rules". Refer below URL for details:

Thanks for your guys reply. I created the trigger on the DuplicateRecordItem which is the standard Duplicate checking function Object. The purpose is that I want to lookup the Lead / Account / Contact in the Duplicate Record Item. So that I can create a workflow rule to trigger the email alert to the duplicate record Item's Owner's Manager. Though there is a record field in that Object to link up to the Duplicate Record. But can't refer to the fields in it. The following is my code. But can't be triggered when I create a duplicate lead record.

trigger DuplicateRecordItemBeforeInsert on DuplicateRecordItem (before insert, before update) {
System.debug('runing');
    for(DuplicateRecordItem duplicateRecordItem : trigger.new){
        System.debug('duplicateRecordItem.Record:' + duplicateRecordItem.Record);
        if (duplicateRecordItem.Record != null){
        System.debug('duplicateRecordItem.Record.getsObjectType():' + duplicateRecordItem.Record.getsObjectType());
            if (duplicateRecordItem.Record.getsObjectType() == Lead.sObjectType){
                duplicateRecordItem.Lead__c = duplicateRecordItem.RecordId;
            }
            if (duplicateRecordItem.Record.getsObjectType() == Account.sObjectType){
                duplicateRecordItem.Account__c = duplicateRecordItem.RecordId;
            }
            if (duplicateRecordItem.Record.getsObjectType() == Contact.sObjectType){
                duplicateRecordItem.Contact__c = duplicateRecordItem.RecordId;
            }
        }
    }
}
