Anisotropy and quantum criticality in CeTi1−xVxGe3 single crystals — •Wolfram Kittler1, Veronika Fritsch1, Paul C. Canfield2, and Hilbert v.

CeTiGe3 is a heavy-fermion ferromagnet with the Curie-temperature TC ≈ 14 K [1]. It crystallizes in a hexagonal structure with space group P63/mmc. The magnetic moments are located at the Ce sites pointing along the c-axis [2]. Partial substitution of Ti by V leads to a suppression of TC toward zero. Thus CeTi1−xVxGe3 seems to be one of the few ferromagnetic systems that can be driven to a quantum critical point at a critical V concentration xc≈ 0.38.
We will present detailed measurements of magnetization, electrical resistivity and specific heat on flux-grown single crystals showing the highly anisotropic Ising-like magnetism in this system. Furthermore we will demonstrate signatures of non-Fermi-liquid behavior when approaching the critical concentration.
