摘要
We have discovered a low-field metamagnetic transition in UGe2 close to the critical pressure at which the Curie temperature is suppressed to zero. The systematic evolution of the transition with pressure provides a unique opportunity to test theoretical models of metamagnetism. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
