摘要:

我们报告精确的低温比热测量,C(T),YbRh 2Si 2的反铁磁相变附近的优质单晶(RRR 150)。我们在T_N= 72 mK处观察到一个非常尖锐的峰,绝对值高达C/T= 8 J/molK^2。对T_N附近的临界指数α的详细分析表明,α=0.38,这与Ginzburg-Landau理论中α<0.11的常规普适类有很大不同。热膨胀测量证实了这个大的积极的临界指数。这些结果提供了洞察的性质的临界磁波动在温度驱动的相变接近量子临界点。

英文摘要:

We report on precise low-temperature specific-heat measurements, C(T), of YbRh2Si2 in the vicinity of the antiferromagnetic phase transition on a single crystal of superior quality (RRR 150). We observe a very sharp peak at T_N=72mK with absolute values as high as C/T=8J/molK^2. A detailed analysis of the critical exponent αaround T_N reveals α=0.38 which differs significantly from those of the conventional universality classes in the Ginzburg-Landau theory, where α<0.11. Thermal-expansion measurements corroborate this large positive critical exponent. These results provide insight into the nature of the critical magnetic fluctuations at a temperature-driven phase transition close to a quantum critical point.
