Magnetic field dependence of the non-Fermi-liquid state in ferromagnetic CePd1−xNix

Abstract The results of measurements of the electrical resistivity ( ρ ), specific heat ( C ), and magnetic susceptibility ( χ ) are reported for compounds near the ferromagnetic transition in the CePd 1− x Ni x system. The magnetoresistance is large and positive at low temperatures. The zero-field non-Fermi-liquid characteristics of ρ ( T ) and of C ( T ) are shown to be modified in an applied field.
