The intermetallic system NbFe2 exhibits ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order, which can be suppressed by slight changes to the composition within the Nb1−yFe2+y homogeneity range, thus accessing a quantum critical point (QCP). In proximity to its QCP NbFe2 exhibits non-Fermi-liquid behavior, which makes this material the first clear candidate for a three dimensional ferromagnetic QCP within the transition metals. We present Hall effect measurements on two selected samples of the Nb1−yFe2+y solution series. The data are analyzed in terms of anomalous and normal contributions to the Hall voltage. The normal contribution is expected to give insight into the electronic structure whereas the anomalous contributions may help to clarify the yet unresolved magnetic properties close to the QCP.
