説明

To investigate the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior in a nonalloyed system CeNi2Ge2, we have measured the temperature and field dependences of the specific heat C on a CeNi2Ge2 single crystal. The distinctive temperature dependence of C/T (--α-β√T) is destroyed in almost the same manner for both field directions of B//c-axis and B//a-axis. The overall behavior of C(T,B) and the low-temperature upturn in χ(T) can be reproduced, assuming an anomalous peak of the quasi-particle-band density-of-states (DOS) at the Fermi energy possessing √ε energy dependence. Absence of residual entropy around T=0 K in B -- 0 T has been confirmed by the magnetocaloric effect measurements, which are consistent with the present model. The present model can also be applied to the NFL behavior in CeCu5.9Au0.1 using a ln(ε)-dependent peak in the DOS. Possible origins of the peak in the DOS are discussed.
