Abstract
In order to investigate magnetic properties around a quantum critical point of CePt1-xRhx alloys, we have performed the ac-susceptibility (Ïac) measurements with field frequency ranging from Ï/2Ï=0 (dc magnetization) to 1113Â Hz for temperature down to 100Â mK on polycrystalline CePt1-xRhx (x=0.5, 0.6). The in-phase component of Ïac exhibits a pronounced peak at Tf. The peak magnitude and Tf show significant field-frequency dependence. In addition, a staircaselike hysteresis loop of magnetization was observed below 200Â mK. From the dynamical analyses of Ïac, we suggest that CePt0.5Rh0.5 and CePt0.4Rh0.6 can be described as cluster-glass systems.
