Abstract

Measurements of the temperature-dependent specific heat and thermal expansion coefficient near a T = 0 magnetic-non-magnetic boundary, accessed in CeRh{sub 2}Si{sub 2} by application of pressure and in CeRh{sub 2{minus}x}Ru{sub x}Si{sub 2} at ambient pressure by chemical substitution, emphasize the role of disorder in producing non-Fermi-liquid behavior. Interestingly, superconductivity also develops near this boundary in some crystallographically-ordered Ce-based heavy-fermion compounds.
