Non-Fermi-liquid behavior at a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in NixPd1-x

NixPd1-x is investigated at the border of enhanced Pauli paramagnetism and itinerant ferromagnetism, We provide convincing experimental evidence for t he occurrence of a ferromagnetic (FM) quantum critical point (QCP). At a ni ckel concentration x = 0.025 +/- 0.002, the concentration dependence of the Curie temperature, as well as the temperature dependencies of the electric al resistivity, the magnetic susceptibility, and of the linear term of the specific heat follow the theoretical predictions of a FM QCP within experim ental uncertainties.
