Neutron scattering and muSR studies of magnetic phenomena in YFe2Al10: case study of a ferromagnetic quantum critical system

DOI

In strongly correlated electron systems, the proximity to magnetic ordering has been of special interest. Magnetism in this class of systems is often suppressed by the Kondo effect. When magnetism is suppressed to T=0 K, quantum criticality (QC) dictates in a collective manner the temperature dependence of physical properties. Whereas QC appears to be well established as the outcome of suppressed AFM in itinerant SDW-type magnetism as well as in the more unconventional local-moment picture of f-electron systems, QC near a FM phase boundary appears to be elusive. The thermal and magnetic evolution of physical properties of YFe2Al10 meet with the expectations of QC. We here seek to obtain microscopic information about the spin dynamics to investigate E/T-scaling in YFe2Al10. Muon-spin resonance in particular is needed to inform about possible low energy spin fluctuations in this compound.
