Abstract

We have investigated magnetic properties of the heavy fermion system Ce1-x Gdx CoSi3 (0x1) via specific heat and electrical resistivity measurements. The specific heat shows antiferromagnetism at 9 K for GdCoSi3 (x=1.0). With increasing Ce concentration, TN linearly decreases and is suppressed at x=0.1. An anomalous hump in specific heat was found below the ordering temperature for x0.4. For x=0.1, non-Fermi-liquid behavior was found in electrical resistivity and -ln T divergence in C/T below 3 K. Our results indicate that x=0.1 is a quantum critical point.
