Abstract

The non-magnetic heavy fermion compound Ce3Co4Sn13 was studied under pressure. We report single crystalline measurements of electrical resistivity as a function of temperature rho(T) under pressure. Some characteristic features related to a structural transition (T-S), crystalline field effects (T-CEF), and a low temperature maximum (T-max), possibly connected simultaneously to the onset of Kondo lattice coherence and short range magnetic correlations, were identified in the rho(T) data. A pressure-temperature phase diagram with T-S and T-max was constructed by mapping these features. Like for most Ce-based heavy fermion compounds, T-max moves to higher temperatures with pressure, indicating that it is related to the Kondo energy scale, due to the increase of hybridization induced by pressure. On the other hand, T-S, associated to a superlattice distortion and probably combined with a charge density wave transition, decreases as a function of pressure. However, differently from the Sr3-xCaxIr4Sn13 system, where a superlattice quantum phase transition is observed {[}L. E. Klintberg et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 237 008 (2012)], in Ce3Co4Sn13 T-S similar to 154 K, at ambient pressure (P = 0), seems to stabilize at around 143K for P >= 19 kilobars. We also investigated rho(T) in external magnetic fields, at P = 0. Negative magnetoresistance and increase of T-max are observed, suggesting suppression of low temperature short range magnetic correlations. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. (AU)
