摘要:

在10 mK ~ 300 K的宽温度范围内,通过电阻率测量,研究了压力对反铁磁化合物EuCu_2Ge_2独特电子态的影响.常压下的Neel温度为TN = 15 K,随压力的增加而单调增加,在6.2 GPa时达到最大值TN = 27 K,但在Pc = 6.5 GPa时突然下降到零,表明Eu的价态从近二价态转变为三价态的量子临界点(QCP)。从基于费米液体关系rhomag 0 = rhomag 0 + AT^2的低温电阻率获得的rhomag 0和A值在Pc附近呈现巨大且尖锐的峰。从幂律依赖性rhomag = rhomag 0 + BT^n获得的指数n在P = Pc = 6时明显小于1.5。5 GPa,预计在AF-QCP。这些结果表明,Pc与Pv一致,对应于价转变压力Pv的量子临界性。根据推广的Kadowaki-Woods关系式估计,在Pc附近的电子比热系数约为510 mJ/mol K^2,表明形成了重费米子态。

英文摘要:

The effect of pressure on the unique electronic state of the antiferromagnetic (AF) compound EuCu2Ge2 has been measured in a wide temperature range from 10 mK to 300 K by electrical resistivity measurements up to 10 GPa. The Neel temperature of TN = 15 K at ambient pressure increases monotonically with increasing pressure and becomes a maximum of TN = 27 K at 6.2 GPa but suddenly drops to zero at Pc = 6.5 GPa, suggesting the quantum critical point (QCP) of the valence transition of Eu from a nearly divalent state to that with trivalent weight. The rhomag0 and A values obtained from the low-temperature electrical resistivity based on the Fermi liquid relation of rhomag = rhomag0 + AT^2 exhibit huge and sharp peaks around Pc. The exponent n obtained from the power law dependence rhomag = rhomag0 + BT^n is clearly less than 1.5 at P = Pc = 6. 5 GPa, which is expected at the AF-QCP. These results indicate that Pc coincides with Pv, corresponding to the quantum criticality of the valence transition pressure Pv. The electronic specific heat coefficient, estimated from the generalized Kadowaki-Woods relation, is about 510 mJ/mol K^2 around Pc, suggesting the formation of a heavy-fermion state.
