摘要: We investigate the unusual magnetic, thermodynamic and transport properties of nearly-critical, weakly-itinerant ferromagnets with general formula UTX, where T=Rh, Co X=Ge, Si. As a unique feature these systems, we show how changes in Vdf hybridization, which controls their proximity to ferromagnetic instability, determine evolution ground state magnetization, M0, Curie temperature, TC, density states at Fermi level, N(EF), T2 resistivity coefficient, A, specific heat ?. The universal aspect our findings comes from dependence on only two parameters: transition metal Td bandwidth, Wd, distance between Uf band centers, CTd???CUf. discuss results connection data for URh1?xCoxGe.
