Complex Magnetic Behavior of the Ce sawtooth chains in CeRhSn

P. Opletal, J. Fikáček, E. Duverger-Nédellec +8

Conflicting reports exist on the ground state of the intermetallic compound CeRhSn. This can be rooted in the sawtooth-like arrangement of two inequivalent Ce sites in the unit…

The break up of heavy electrons at a quantum critical point

J. Custers, P. Gegenwart, H. Wilhelm +7

The point at absolute zero where matter becomes unstable to new forms of order is called a quantum critical point (QCP). The quantum fluctuations between order and disorder that de…
