Following the recently published results (down to 0.3 K) on magnetic-field
induced non-Fermi-liquid behavior in polycrystalline CeCu6-xAgx (0.09<x<1.2
) we present here specific heat C measurements down to T=70 mK on a CeCu5.2
Ag0.8 Single crystal. In the single crystal we find that in a critical magn
etic field B-c only along the magnetic easy (c) axis, where the long-range
antiferromagnetic order (T-N= 0.7 K in B = 0 T) is just suppressed to T=0,
a quantum critical point is reached with non-Fermi-liquid properties down t
o our lowest temperature of measurement. The lowest temperature CIT data, B
parallel to c, for B>B-c are proportional to 1 -aT(0.5), a temperature dep
endence proposed in the Gaussian (double left right arrow weakly interactin
g spin fluctuations) self-consistent renormalized spin-fluctuation theory.
In contrast, the data at higher temperatures-including scaling with B/T-bet
a of both C and magnetization as a function of B-require a non-Gaussian str
ongly interacting spin-fluctuation model. In order to test this apparent cr
ossover in behavior we have examined the scaling of C(B) for T<0.2 K and fi
nd that the high-temperature scaling with B/T-beta ("hyperscaling") does no
t function at the lowest temperatures. [S0163-1829(98)51648-7].
