摘要:

我们已经进行了磁化率,比热,电阻率,和非弹性中子散射测量的重费米子化合物Ce(Ni $_{0.935}$ Pd $_{0.065}$)$_2$ Ge $_2$的单晶,这被认为是接近量子临界点(QCP)在T = 0。在最低温度(1.8-3.5 K)下,磁化率表现为具有$χ(0) = 0.032 \times 10^{-6}$ m $^3$ /mole(0.0025 emu/mole)的$χ(T)-χ(0)$ $\propto$ $T^{-1/6}$。对于$T<$ 1 K,比热可以拟合为式$ΔC/T = γ_0 - T^{1/2}$,其中$γ_0$为700 mJ/摩尔-K $^2$。当温度低于2K时,电阻率表现为$ρ= ρ_0 + AT^{3/2}$. $γ(T)$和$ρ(T)$的低温行为与Moriya和Takimoto \cite{Moriya}的SCR理论一致。非弹性中子散射谱在1.5 meV附近出现一个宽峰,似乎与$Q$无关;我们将其解释为$T_K =$ 17 K的近藤散射。此外,在$Q$ =(1/2,1/2,0)附近的散射增强,最大散射在$ΔE$ = 0.45 meV,我们解释这是从反铁磁QCP附近的反铁磁波动散射。

英文摘要:

We have performed magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, resistivity, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements on a single crystal of the heavy Fermion compound Ce(Ni$_{0.935}$Pd$_{0.065}$)$_2$Ge$_2$, which is believed to be close to a quantum critical point (QCP) at T = 0. At lowest temperature(1.8-3.5 K), the magnetic susceptibility behaves as $χ(T)-χ(0)$ $\propto$ $T^{-1/6}$ with $χ(0) = 0.032 \times 10^{-6}$ m$^3$/mole (0.0025 emu/mole). For $T<$ 1 K, the specific heat can be fit to the formula $ΔC/T = γ_0 - T^{1/2}$ with $γ_0$ of order 700 mJ/mole-K$^2$. The resistivity behaves as $ρ= ρ_0 + AT^{3/2}$ for temperatures below 2 K. This low temperature behavior for $γ(T)$ and $ρ(T)$ is in accord with the SCR theory of Moriya and Takimoto\cite{Moriya}. The inelastic neutron scattering spectra show a broad peak near 1.5 meV that appears to be independent of $Q$; we interpret this as Kondo scattering with $T_K =$ 17 K. In addition, the scattering is enhanced near $Q$=(1/2, 1/2, 0) with maximum scattering at $ΔE$ = 0.45 meV; we interpret this as scattering from antiferromagnetic fluctuations near the antiferromagnetic QCP.
