摘要
We discuss strong deviations from the signatures of a heavy Landau-Fermi liquid already at p = 0 that are observed for normal (n)-state CeCu2Si2, for CeNi2Ge2 and YbRh2Si2. No quantum critical point could yet be established in the case of CeNi2Ge2. For this compound, preliminary investigations of the chemical phase diagram have revealed certain similarities to CeCu2Si2. The non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) effects observed for YbRh2Si2 suggest a quasi-2D system of magnetic fluctuations. We also discuss briefly disparities between resistivity and specific-heat results in all three compounds as well as the relationship between a NFL n-state and the occurrence of heavy-fermion superconductivity.
