摘要

We have investigated single crystals of two substitution series Ce(Ru1-x Fe-x)PO and CeFe(As1-y P-y)O in the vicinity to the quantum critical material CeFePO by means of magnetic-susceptibility and specific-heat measurements. We observe an antiferromagnetic ground state in the vicinity of the quantum critical point, with pronounced metamagnetic transitions for H parallel to c, which is the magnetically hard direction. Our results verify that a ferromagnetic quantum critical point is avoided in substituted CeFePO, because we clearly demonstrate that the ferromagnetic ground state changes into an antiferromagnetic one, when approaching the quantum critical point.
