Novel Quantum Criticality in the Au-Al-Yb Quasicrystal — •Andreas Wörl1, Shuya Matsukawa2, Akito Sakai3, Noriaki Sato2, and Philipp Gegenwart11Experimentalphysics VI, Center for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, University of Augsburg, Germany — 2Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, Japan — 3Institute for Solid State Physics, The University of Tokyo, Japan

The emergence of non-Fermi liquid behavior without tuning an external control parameter has been reported for several heavy-fermion materials lately. One prime example is the icosahedral quasicrystal Au51Al36Yb15, which exhibits divergent behavior of magnetic susceptibility, χ−1T0.51, and specific heat, C/T ∝ −lnT, in zero magnetic field [1].
To further resolve the nature of the non-Fermi liquid state, we report thermal expansion and magnetostriction measurements at ultra-low temperatures. The Grüneisen ratio, which is the most suitable physical quantity for the characterization of pressure sensitive quantum crititcal phenomena, gives no evidence of an intrinsically generated pressure sensitive quantum critical point. We conclude the formation of a novel critical state with the peculiarity of low pressure but high magnetic field sensitivity.
