摘要:

我们提出了一个从量子临界系统YbRh_2Si_2到稳定的三价Yb系统YbCo_2Si_2的磁性演化的研究。生长了Yb(Rh_(1-x)Co_x)_2Si_2单晶(0 < x < 1),并对其进行了磁化率、电阻率、比热测量和光电子能谱研究。结果表明,该合金具有复杂的磁相图,T_N的变化是非单调的,某些成分的T_N连续发生两次相变,形成两个三临界点。与YbRh_2Si_2高压相图的高度相似性表明Co置换基本上对应于正化学压的施加。对实验数据的分析表明,随着Co含量的增加,近藤温度T_K显著降低,当x ~ 0.5时,T_K小于T_N,说明4f电子的局域化较强。此外,低温磁化率数据证实了铁磁和反铁磁交换之间的竞争。Yb(Rh_(1-x)Co_x)_2Si_2系列样品为深入研究YbRh_2Si_2附近反铁磁相消失的量子临界点(T_N=>0)的磁性提供了极好的实验机会。

英文摘要:

We present a study of the evolution of magnetism from the quantum critical system YbRh2Si2 to the stable trivalent Yb system YbCo2Si2. Single crystals of Yb(Rh_(1-x)Co_x)2Si2 were grown for 0 < x < 1 and studied by means of magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and specific heat measurements, as well as photoemission spectroscopy. The results evidence a complex magnetic phase diagram, with a non-monotonic evolution of T_N and two successive transitions for some compositions resulting in two tricritical points. The strong similarity with the phase diagram of YbRh2Si2 under pressure indicates that Co substitution basically corresponds to the application of positive chemical pressure. Analysis of the data proves a strong reduction of the Kondo temperature T_K with increasing Co content, T_K becoming smaller than T_N for x ~ 0.5, implying a strong localization of the 4f electrons. Furthermore, low-temperature susceptibility data confirm a competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic exchange. The series Yb(Rh_(1-x)Co_x)2Si2 provides an excellent experimental opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the magnetism at the quantum critical point in the vicinity of YbRh2Si2 where the antiferromagnetic phase disappears (T_N=>0).
