Abstract

The effect of hydrostatic pressure ( p ? 1.8 GPa) on the non-Fermi liquid state of U2Pt2In is investigated by electrical resistivity measurements in the temperature interval 0.3-300 K. The experiments were carried out on single-crystals with the current along ( I || c ) and perpendicular ( I || a ) to the tetragonal axis. The pressure effect is strongly current-direction dependent. For I || a we observe a rapid recovery of the Fermi-liquid T2-term with pressure. A comparison of the data with the magnetotransport theory of Rosch provides evidence for the location of U2Pt2In at an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. For I || c the resistivity increases under pressure, indicating the enhancement of an additional scattering mechanism.
