Abstract The measurements on temperature dependences of magnetic susceptibility χ(T), specific heat C(T), and electrical resistivity ρ(T) were carried out for the antiferromagnetic (AFM) (Ce1-xLax)2Ir3Ge5 (0≤x≤0.66) system. It was found that the Neel temperature TN decreases with increasing La content x, and reaches 0 K near a critical content xcr=0.6. A new phase diagram was constructed based on these measurements. A non-Fermi liquid behavior in ρ(T) and a logT relationship in C(T) were found in the samples near xcr, indicating them to be near an AFM quantum critical point (QCP) with strong spin fluctuation. Our finding indicates that (Ce1-xLax)2Ir3Ge5 may be a new platform to search for unconventional superconductivity.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
