The effect of uniaxial pressure on the magnetic anomalies of the heavy-fermion metamagnet CeRu2Si2
Abstract
The effect of uniaxial pressure (Pu) on the magnetic susceptibility (X), magnetization (M), and magnetoresistance (MR) of the heavy-fermion metamagnet CeRu2Si2 has been investigated. For the magnetic field along the tetragonal c axis, it is found that characteristic physical quantities, i.e., the temperature of the susceptibility maximum (Tmax), the pagamagnetic Weiss temperature (Qp), 1/X at 2 K, and the magnetic field of the metamagnetic anomaly (HM), scale approximately linearly with Pu, indicating that all the quantities are related to the same energy scale, probably of the Kondo temperature. The increase (decrease) of the quantities for Pu || c axis (Pu || a axis) can be attributed to a decrease (increase) in the nearest Ce-Ru distance. Consistently in MR and X, we observed a sign that the anisotropic nature of the hybridization, which is believed to play an important role in the metamagnetic anomaly, can be controlled by applying the uniaxial pressure.
