摘 要:The heavy fermion ferromagnet CeRh_(6)Ge_(4)is the first example of a clean stoichiometric system where the ferromagnetic transition can be continuously suppressed by hydrostatic pressure to a quantum critical *** order to reveal the outcome when the magnetic lattice of CeRh_(6)Ge_(4)is diluted with non-magnetic atoms,this study reports comprehensive measurements of the physical properties of both single crystal and polycrystalline samples of La_(x)Ce_(1-x)Rh_(6)Ge_(4).With increasing x,the Curie temperature decreases,and no transition is observed for x0.25,while the system evolves from exhibiting coherent Kondo lattice behaviors at low x to the Kondo impurity scenario at large ***,non-Fermi liquid behavior is observed over a wide doping range,which agrees well with the disordered Kondo model for 0.52≤x≤0.66,while strange metal behavior is revealed in the vicinity of x_(c)=0.26.
