摘要:

报道了近藤晶格铁磁体CeRh $_6$ Ge $_4$在压力下的电阻率测量结果,并提出了量子铁磁(FM)相变是容易实现的.在大多数干净的金属铁磁体中,通过将FM转变为不连续转变或反铁磁转变来避免零场处的量子临界点(QCP)。相反,在CeRh $_6$ Ge $_4$中,2.5 K的居里温度随着压力的增加而连续降低,没有任何明显的转变转变为一级的迹象。在量子FM相变附近观察到明显的非费米液体行为。实验数据与CeRh $_6$ Ge $_4$在零场显示FM QCP的图片不矛盾。能带结构计算表明CeRh $_6$ Ge $_4$在Ce基Kondo晶格中具有不寻常的电子态。CeRh $_6$ Ge $_4$值得进一步研究,并将成为理解FM QCP问题的关键材料。

英文摘要:

We report resistivity measurements under pressure for Kondo-lattice ferromagnet CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$, and present that a quantum ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition is easily achieved. In most clean metallic ferromagnets, a quantum critical point (QCP) at zero field is avoided by changing the FM transition to a discontinuous transition or to an antiferromagnetic transition. In CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$, to the contrary, the Curie temperature of 2.5 K decreases continuously as increasing pressure without any clear signature that the transition changes to first order. The obvious non Fermi liquid behavior is observed in the vicinity of the quantum FM phase transition. The experimental data do not contradict a picture in which CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$ shows the FM QCP at zero field. Band structure calculation suggests the unusual electronic state of CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$ among Ce-based Kondo lattices. CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$ deserves further investigations and will be a key material to understand the matter of the FM QCP.
