Abstract

Measurements of the temperature (T) dependence of the magnetic susceptibility (χ) and electrical resistance (R) on an antiferromagnetic (AFM) (Cr₈₄Re₁₆)_89.6V_10.4 alloy are reported in order to probe the existence of quantum critical behaviour (QCB) utilizing static magnetic fields (H) as a tuning parameter. The results indicate that an increase in H suppresses T_N in such a way that it varies exponentially with increasing H. R(T) measurements show evidence of possible superconducting (SC) behaviour below 1K at H=0T. These results therefore indicate the coexistence of the AFM and SC phases in the (Cr₈₄Re ₁₆)_89.6V_10.4 alloy.
