针对Co(S1-xSex)2系统在x=0.11附近发生的铁磁金属到顺磁金属相变,制备了一系列不同Se替代浓度的多晶样品.通过对其结构和电阻率-温度ρ(T)关系的系统观测,结果发现,样品铁磁相变温度TC随着Se替代浓度x值的增加,以(1-x)1/2关系单调下降,其二级铁磁相变转变为一级相变;在临界浓度x=0.11附近,其ρ(T)关系由Fermi液体行为转变为非Fermi液体行为.作者认为,Co(S1-xSex)2系统在x=0.11附近发生的是一种量子相变,在该量子相变点附近零温度下的自旋量子涨落导致其ρ(T)关系的反常行为.
In Co(S1-xSex)2 system, a transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state occurs near x=0.11. In order to research the physical properties of the samples near this transition, polycrystalline samples of Co(S1-x Sex)2 (0.0≤x≤ 0.16) were prepared. And their structure and resistivity were measured. It is found that the ferromagnetic transition temperature TC is suppressed by Se doping in the relation TC~(1-x)^1/2. And the ferromagnetic phase transition goes from the second to the first order. The temperature dependence of resistivity, ρ(T), shows a Fermi-liquid behavior,ρ(T)=ρ0+AT^2, in Co(S 1-x Sex)2 (x 〈 0.08) samples, while the non-Fermi liquid behavior of ρ(T) occurs in the samples near a critical concentration x=0.11. It is suggested that the phase transition near x=0.11 is a quantum phase transition, and the quantum critical spin fluctuation at zero temperature results in non-Fermi liquid behavior.
