Description

The alloy CePd1-xRhx is a unique example undergoing quantum critical behavior between ferromagnetic CePd (TC=6.6K) and mixed valence CeRh. The negative curvature of TC(x) holds up to x=0.6, followed by a positive tail with the lowest measured TC=0.25K at x=0.80. We report on a detailed investigation within the 0.80=1. Simultaneously, a change of sign in β(T) is observed at xcr. The vanishing Cm/T=A(x)T-q contribution coexists beyond xcr with a Fermi Liquid component
