Description

We present a pressure study of electronic transport properties of Yb0.9La0.1Rh2Si2. The stoichiometric system YbRh2Si2 is close to a quantum critical point (QCP) and shows pronounced non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) properties. However, weak antiferromagnetic (AFM) order is found below Tm=70mK. La-substitution expands the lattice and suppresses AFM order. Applying pressure reverses the lattice expansion and allows to tune the system through the QCP and finally to recover antiferromagnetism
