铁磁Ce_2(Pd_1-xRh_x)_2In合金量子临界性的探讨

Approaching Quantum Criticality in ferromagnetic Ce_2 (Pd_1-x Rh_x)_2 In alloys

J. G. Sereni, M. Giovannini, M. Gòmez Berisso, A. Saccone

摘要:

研究了铁磁合金Ce2.15(Pd 1-xRhx)1.95In0.9的低温磁性能和热性能,探讨了Rh掺杂Pd调节量子临界点的可能性。正如预期的那样,在T = 4.1K的母合金中观察到的磁性转变随Rh浓度的增加而降低。然而,它分裂成两个过渡,上部是反铁磁(AF),而下部是FM。当x_cr ~ 0.65时,AF相界外推到T_N = 0,而一级FM相变在x ~ 0.3时消失。在x = 0.5和0.55的合金中观察到的C_m/T尾部的发散T依赖性以及在示例性Ce化合物中观察到的C_m(T_N)/T最大值在T_N => 0时趋于饱和,从而产生了T_N => 0点的QC特征。超过临界浓度的单位晶胞体积偏离Vegard定律与近藤温度的强烈增加相一致。

英文摘要:

Low temperature magnetic and thermal (C_m) properties of the ferromagnetic (FM) alloys Ce_2.15 (Pd_1-x Rh_x)_1.95 In_0.9 were investigated in order to explore the possibility for tuning a quantum critical point (QCP) by doping Pd with Rh. As expected, the magnetic transition observed at T = 4.1K in the parent alloy decreases with increasing Rh concentration. Nevertheless it splits into two transitions, the upper being antiferromagnetic (AF) whereas the lower FM. The AF phase boundary extrapolates to T_N = 0 for x_cr ~ 0.65 whereas the first order FM transition vanishes at x ~ 0.3. The QC character of the T_N => 0 point arises from the divergent T dependence of the tail of C_m/T observed in the x = 0.5 and 0.55 alloys, and the tendency to saturation of the maximum of C_m(T_N)/T as observed in exemplary Ce compounds for T_N => 0. Beyond the critical concentration the unit cell volume deviates from the Vegard's law in coincidence with a strong increase of the Kondo temperature.
