Thermal expansion and magnetostriction of Yb2Fe12P7 single crystals — •Kai Grube1, Sebastian Zaum1,2, Roland Schäfer1, Peter Schweiss1, R. E. Baumbach3, M. B.

The noncentrosymmetric heavy-fermion compound Yb2Fe12P7 exhibits a magnetic transition at ≈ 1 K. Recent resistivity measurements [1] reveal non-Fermi-liquid behavior in an extended temperature and field range. From the unusual low-temperature behavior it was concluded that Yb2Fe12P7 belongs to the growing class of compounds in which the non-Fermi-liquid behavior does not conform to the standard QCP scenario which can be described by the Hertz-Millis-Moriya theory. We report on thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements in a temperature range of 40 mK < T < 10 K and magnetic fields of up to 14 T parallel and perpendicular to the hexagonal c axis. From the data we construct (T, B) phase diagrams for both field directions. The Grüneisen ratio calculated from our measurements is comparatively small and does not diverge for T→ 0. It gives, therefore, no evidence for a nearby pressure-induced quantum critical point.
