摘要:

我们提出了一个新的近藤晶格系统YbNi_4P_2,它是一个干净的重费米子金属,具有严重降低的铁磁有序温度(T_C=0.17K),其磁化率、比热和电阻率测量结果都有明显的异常。转变的铁磁性质,只有一个小的有序矩~ 0.05 μ_B,建立在T_C的发散磁化率在铁磁有序状态下具有巨大的绝对值,严重减少了小磁场。此外,YbNi 4P 2是具有准一维晶体和电子结构的化学计量系统,并且具有主导低温性质的强关联效应。这反映在索末菲系数的强发散和T_C以上的线性电阻率上,这些都不能用目前的理论预测来解释。这些令人兴奋的特性是所有相关电子系统中唯一的,使其成为进一步深入研究的有趣材料。

英文摘要:

We present a new Kondo-lattice system, YbNi4P2, which is a clean heavy-fermion metal with a severely reduced ferromagnetic ordering temperature at T_C=0.17K, evidenced by distinct anomalies in susceptibility, specific-heat, and resistivity measurements. The ferromagnetic nature of the transition, with only a small ordered moment of ~0.05mu_B, is established by a diverging susceptibility at T_C with huge absolute values in the ferromagnetically ordered state, severely reduced by small magnetic fields. Furthermore, YbNi4P2 is a stoichiometric system with a quasi-one-dimensional crystal and electronic structure and strong correlation effects which dominate the low temperature properties. This is reflected by a stronger-than-logarithmically diverging Sommerfeld coefficient and a linear-in-T resistivity above T_C which cannot be explained by any current theoretical predictions. These exciting characteristics are unique among all correlated electron systems and make this an interesting material for further in-depth investigations.
