Musr study of non-Fermi-liquid behaviour in the layered quasi-2D compound: CeRh2Ga

DOI

: Recently it has been reported from specific heat, resistivity, and susceptibility measurements that CeRh2Ga exhibits very interesting NFL behaviour. The specific heat divided by temperature in zero-field and the susceptibility show a power-law temperature dependence, which is consistent with the proposed Griffiths phase scenario for the origin of NFL behaviour. However, it is difficult to understand such a scenario in the stoichiometric CeRh2Ga compound. To observe the Griffiths phase one needs to have a proximity to a magnetic phase transition plus disorder or formation of clusters before the global magnetic ordering takes place. As CeRh2Ga does not have any apparent disorder, it is important to investigate this compound using microscopic probes, such as musr, to understand the observed NFL behaviour. We therefore propose to carry out musr study on CeRh2Ga.
