Abstract
A strong departure from Landau-Fermi liquid (LFL) behavior have been recently revealed in observed anomalies in both the magnetic susceptibility and the muon and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates of (). We show that the above anomalies along with magnetic-field-induced reentrance of LFL properties are indeed determined by the scaling behavior of the quasiparticle effective mass. We obtain the scaling behavior theoretically utilizing our approach based on fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) notion. Our theoretical analysis of experimental data on the base of FCQPT approach permits not only to explain above two experimental facts in a unified manner, but to clarify the physical reasons for a scaling behavior of the longitudinal magnetoresistance in .
