Abstract

We report on the emergence of an Electronic Griffiths Phase (EGP) in the doped semiconductor FeSb2_{2}, predicted for disordered insulators with random localized moments in the vicinity of a metal-insulator transition (MIT). Magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic measurements of Fe(Sb1x_{1-x}Tex_{x})2_{2} single crystals show signatures of disorder-induced non-Fermi liquid behavior and a Wilson ratio expected for strong electronic correlations. The EGP states are found on the metallic boundary, between the insulating state (x=0x = 0) and a long-range albeit weak magnetic order (x0.075x \geq 0.075).
