摘要:

在重费米子系统中,自旋性在决定反常非费米液体性质方面起着至关重要的作用。到目前为止,大多数重费米子化合物都是准二维或三维的。在这里,我们报告了准一维近藤晶格CeCo $_2$ Ga $_8$单晶的合成和系统研究。在环境压力下的电阻率测量揭示了在$T^*\approx 20\,$ K和非费米液体行为的相干性的开始与线性温度依赖性超过十年的温度从2 K到0.1 K。比热随温度的降低在10 K和2 K之间呈指数增加,在1 K时达到800 mJ/mol K $^2$,表明CeCo $_2$ Ga $_8$在量子临界点附近是重费米子化合物。压力下的电阻率测量进一步证实了非费米液体在大的温度-压力范围内的行为。磁化率被发现遵循的一维(1D)自旋链从300 K到$T^*$的典型行为,和第一性原理计算预测平坦的费米表面巡回$f$ -电子带。这表明CeCo $_2$ Ga $_8$是一个罕见的准一维近藤晶格的例子,但它的非费米液体行为类似于准二维YbRh $_2$ Si $_2$家族。因此,对准一维CeCo $_2$ Ga $_8$族的研究有助于我们理解维数在重费米子物理和量子临界性中的作用.

英文摘要:

Dimensionality plays an essential role in determining the anomalous non-Fermi liquid properties in heavy fermion systems. So far most heavy fermion compounds are quasi-two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Here we report the synthesis and systematic investigations of the single crystals of the quasi-one-dimensional Kondo lattice CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$. Resistivity measurements at ambient pressure reveal the onset of coherence at $T^*\approx 20\,$K and non-Fermi liquid behavior with linear temperature dependence over a decade in temperature from 2 K to 0.1 K. The specific heat increases logarithmically with lowering temperature between 10 K and 2 K and reaches 800 mJ/mol K$^2$ at 1 K, suggesting that CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$ is a heavy fermion compound in the close vicinity of a quantum critical point. Resistivity measurements under pressure further confirm the non-Fermi liquid behavior in a large temperature-pressure range. The magnetic susceptibility is found to follow the typical behavior for a one-dimensional (1D) spin chain from 300 K down to $T^*$, and first-principles calculations predict flat Fermi surfaces for the itinerant $f$-electron bands. These suggest that CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$ is a rare example of the quasi-1D Kondo lattice, but its non-Fermi liquid behaviors resemble those of the quasi-two-dimensional YbRh$_2$Si$_2$ family. The study of the quasi-one-dimensional CeCo$_2$Ga$_8$ family may therefore help us to understand the role of dimensionality on heavy fermion physics and quantum criticality.
