We report on single crystal growth and physical properties of the quantum critical Kondo-lattice system YbNi$_4$(P$_{1-x}$As$_{x}$)$_2$ with $0\leq x\leq 1$ which hosts a ferromagnetic quantum critical point at $x \approx 0.1$. We performed…

We report the first study of electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat on YbCo$_2$. The measurements on a single-phased sample of YbCo$_2$ bring no evidence of magnetic ordering down to 0.3 K in a zero magnetic field. The…
One of the key factors that determine the fates of quantum many-body systems in the zero temperature limit is the competition between kinetic energy that delocalizes particles in space and interaction that promotes localization. While one…

Anomalous metallic properties are often observed in the proximity of quantum critical points (QCPs), with violation of the Fermi Liquid paradigm. We propose a scenario where, due to the presence of a nearby QCP, dynamical fluctuations of…

When magnetic order is suppressed by frustrated interactions, spins form a highly correlated fluctuating "spin liquid" state down to low temperatures. Magnetic order of local moments can also be suppressed when they are fully screened by…
