The non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior observed in the low temperature specific heat $C(T)$ and magnetic susceptibility $chi(T)$ of f-electron systems is analyzed within the context of a recently developed theory based on Griffiths singularities. Measurements of $C(T)$ and $chi(T)$ in the systems $Th_{1-x}U_{x}Pd_{2}Al_{3}$, $Y_{1-x}U_{x}Pd_3$, and $UCu_{5-x}M_{x}$ (M = Pd, Pt) are found to be consistent with $C(T)/T propto chi(T) propto T^{-1+lambda}$ predicted by this model with $lambda <1$ in the NFL regime. These results suggest that the NFL properties observed in a wide variety of f-electron systems can be described within the context of a common physical picture.

Muon spin rotation and relaxation ($mu$SR) experiments have yielded evidence that structural disorder is an important factor in many f-electron-based non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) systems. Disorder-driven mechanisms for NFL behaviour are suggested by the ob served broad and strongly temperature-dependent $mu$SR (and NMR) linewidths in several NFL compounds and alloys. Local disorder-driven theories (Kondo disorder, Griffiths-McCoy singularity) are, however, not capable of describing the time-field scaling seen in muon spin relaxation experiments, which suggest cooperative and critical spin fluctuations rather than a distribution of local fluctuation rates. A strong empirical correlation is established between electronic disorder and slow spin fluctuations in NFL materials
Magnetic resonance (muSR and NMR) studies of f-electron non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) materials give clear evidence that structural disorder is a major factor in NFL behavior. Longitudinal-field muSR relaxation measurements at low fields reveal a wide distr ibution of muon relaxation rates and divergences in the frequency dependence of spin correlation functions in the NFL systems UCu_{5-x}Pd_x and CePtSi_{1-x}Ge_x. These divergences seem to be due to slow dynamics associated with quantum spin-glass behavior, rather than quantum criticality as in a uniform system, for two reasons: the observed strong inhomogeneity in the muon relaxation rate, and the strong and frequency-dependent low-frequency fluctuation observed in U(Cu,Pd)_5 and CePt(Si,Ge). In the NFL materials CeCu_{5.9}Au_{0.1}, Ce(Ru_{0.5}Rh_{0.5})_2Si_2, CeNi_2Ge_2, and YbRh_2Si_2 the low-frequency weight of the spin fluctuation spectrum is much weaker than in the disordered NFL systems.
The reflectivity of the itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO_3 has been measured between 50 and 25,000 cm-1 at temperatures ranging from 40 to 300 K, and used to obtain conductivity, scattering rate, and effective mass as a function of frequency and temperatu re. We find that at low temperatures the conductivity falls unusually slowly as a function of frequency (proportional to omega^{-1/2}), and at high temperatures it even appears to increase as a function of frequency in the far-infrared limit. The data suggest that the charge dynamics of SrRuO_3 are substantially different from those of Fermi-liquid metals.
We report measurements of the bulk magnetic susceptibility and ^{29}Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) linewidth in the heavy-fermion alloy CeRhRuSi_2. The linewidth increases rapidly with decreasing temperature and reaches large values at low tempe ratures, which strongly suggests the wide distributions of local susceptibilities chi_j obtained in disorder-driven theories of non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior. The NMR linewidths agree well with distribution functions P(chi) which fit bulk susceptibility and specific heat data. The apparent return to Fermi-liquid behavior observed below 1 K is manifested in the vanishing of P(chi) as chi to infty, suggesting the absence of strong magnetic response at low energies. Our results indicate the need for an extension of some current theories of disorder-driven NFL behavior in order to incorporate this low-temperature crossover.

In this paper we study the low temperature behaviors of a system of Bose-Fermi mixtures at two dimensions. Within a self-consistent ladder diagram approximation, we show that at nonzero temperatures $Trightarrow0$ the fermions exhibit non-fermi liqui d behavior. We propose that this is a general feature of Bose-Fermi mixtures at two dimensions. An experimental signature of this new state is proposed.
