摘 要:We present low-temperature magnetization, magnetoresistance and specific heat measurements on the Kondo lattice compound CePt_3P under applied magnetic fields up to 9.0 T. At zero field, CePt_3P exhibits a moderately enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient of electronic specific heat γCe=86 mJ/mol·K^2 as well as two successive magnetic transitions of Ce 4f moments: an antiferromagnetic ordering at T_(N_1) = 3.0 K and a spin reorientation at T_(N_2)=1.9 K. The value of T_(N_1) shifts to lower temperature as magnetic field increases, and it is ultimately suppressed around B_c ~3.0 T at 1.5 K. No evidence of non-Fermi liquid behavior is observed around B_c down to the lowest temperature measured. Moreover, γ decreases monotonously with increasing the magnetic field. On the other hand, the electrical resistivity shows an anomalous temperature dependence ρ∝T^n with the exponent n decreasing monotonously from ~2.6 around B_c down to ~1.7 for B = 9.0 T. The T-B phase diagram constructed from the present experimental results of CePt_3P does not match the quantum criticality scenario of heavy fermion systems.
