摘要
We report measurements of the bulk magnetic susceptibility and Si-29 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) linewidth in the heavy-fermion alloy CeRhRuSi2. The linewidth increases rapidly with decreasing temperature and reaches large values at low temperatures, which strongly suggests the wide distributions of local susceptibilities chi(j) obtained in disorder-driven theories of non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior. The NMR linewidths agree well with distribution functions P(chi) which fit bulk susceptibility and specific-heat data. The apparent return to Fermi-liquid behavior observed below 1 K is manifested in the vanishing of P(chi) as chi-->infinity indicating the absence of strong magnetic response at low energies. Our results point out the need for an extension of some current theories of disorder-driven NFL behavior in order to incorporate this low-temperature crossover.
