Pressure dependence of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic superconductor UGe_2

Abstract

The recent discovery that superconductivity occurs in several clean itinerant ferromagnets close to low temperature magnetic instabilities naturally invites an interpretation based on a proximity to quantum criticality. Here we report measurements of the pressure dependence of the low temperature magnetisation in one of these materials, UGe_2. Our results show that both of the magnetic transitions observed in this material as a function of pressure are first order transitions and do not therefore correspond to quantum critical points. Further we find that the known pressure dependence of the superconducting transition is not reflected in the pressure dependence of the static susceptibility. This demonstrates that the spectrum of excitations giving superconductivity is not that normally associated with a proximity to quantum criticality in weak itinerant ferromagnets. In contrast our data suggest that instead the pairing spectrum might be related to a sharp spike in the electronic density of states that also drives one of the magnetic transitions.
