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. A quantum critical point (QCP) arises at slight Nb excess of about y=0.015. In proximity to its QCP NbFe2 exhibits non-Fermi-liquid behaviour, which makes this material the first clear candidate for a three dimensional ferromagnetic QCP in a clean transition metal compound at ambient pressure. We present Hall effect measurements on several single crystals chosen from the Nb1−yFe2+y solution series. The data are analysed in terms of anomalous and normal contributions to the Hall voltage. We find anomalous contributions arising from both Side Jump and Skew Scattering with distinct changes in their relative strength as a function of Nb content. The normal contribution reflects the electronic structure.
