A Faraday force magnetometer has been developed for static magnetization
measurements at very low temperatures down to 50 mK and in magnetic fields up
to 14 T. It consists of a plate capacitor with one movable plate placed in a
magnetic field with well-defined field gradient. This device enabled us to
perform high-resolution (10−7 emu) measurements of the static
magnetization of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 as a function
of both field and temperature.
One of the most interesting problems of this
compound is the complicated B-T phase diagram, which shows the superconducting
phase at about 0.7 K in addition to two phases A and B whose origin is still
under discussion. The temperature dependence of the magnetization is found to
show a small but appreciable cusp when entering phase A/B from the
paramagnetic
high-temperature phase, consistent with an antiferromagnetically ordered state
below TA/B. Besides the B-T phase diagram we also discuss the
behaviour of
the magnetization in the paramagnetic state, where in various CeCu2Si2
single crystals distinct non-fermi-liquid phenomena were observed both in
resistivity and specific-heat.
