Zero-field quantum critical point in Ce 0.91 Yb 0.09 CoIn 5

We present results of specific heat, electrical resistance, and magnetoresistivity measurements on single crystals of the heavy-fermion superconducting alloy Ce$_{0.91}$Yb$_{0.09}$CoIn$_5$. Signatures of the non-Fermi liquid to Fermi liquid crossover are clearly observed in the temperature dependence of the Sommerfeld coefficient $\gamma$ and resistivity data. Furthermore, we show that the Yb-doped sample with $x=0.09$ exhibits universality due to an underlying quantum phase transition without an applied magnetic field by utilizing the scaling analysis of $\gamma$. Fitting of the heat capacity and resistivity data based on existing theoretical models indicates that the zero-field quantum critical point is of antiferromagnetic origin.
