The strongly correlated metals U2Pt2In and U3Ni3Sn4 show pronounced non-Fermi liquid (NFL)
phenomena at ambient pressure. Here we review single-crystal electrical resistivity measurements
under pressure (p ≤ 1.8 GPa) conducted to investigate the stability of the NFL phase. For
tetragonal U2Pt2In (I || a) we observe a rapid recovery of the Fermi-liquid T 2-term with pressure.
The Fermi-liquid temperature varies as TFL ~ p-pc, where pc= 0 is a critical pressure. The analysis
within the magnetotransport theory of Rosch provides evidence for the location of U2Pt2In at a
p= 0 antiferromagnetic quantum critical point (QCP). In the case of cubic U3Ni3Sn4 we find
TFL ~ (p-pc)1/2. The analysis provides evidence for an antiferromagnetic QCP in U3Ni3Sn4 at a
negative pressure pc= –0.04±0.04 GPa.
1 Introduction
Materials with low-temperature properties that show strong departures from the
standard Fermi-liquid behaviour nowadays attract considerable attention.
Exemplary compounds to study this so-termed non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behaviour
are found amongst dense Kondo f-electron systems. A mechanism of much general
interest that may lead to NFL behavior is the proximity to a magnetic quantum
critical point (QCP) [1]. Here a T = 0 K electronic instability leads to a phase
transition between a strongly renormalised Fermi liquid and a magnetically ordered
phase. The quantum phase transition can occur spontaneously or may be induced
by tuning the magnetic ordering temperature to 0 K by an external parameter, such
as hydrostatic or chemica
