Anomalous magnetic transition in a disordered quasicrystal approximant with heavy-fermion nature

Takayuki Shiino, Farid Labib, Yuma Hirano +7

Quasicrystal approximant (CexY1-x)Cd6 (0 < x < 1) forms a network of corner-sharing octahedra. We report that (Ce0.8Y0.2)Cd6 exhibits an anomalous magnetic transition which can be…
