Abstract
de Haas–van Alphen measurements on yield contrasting types of behavior that depend on whether and Ir or . A stronger -dependent scattering in the case of and Ir is suggestive of a stronger relative coupling, , of the conduction electrons to the electrons, which would then account for the development of a heavy composite Fermi-liquid state as . The failure of a composite Fermi-liquid state to form for any in the case of Rh is shown to be inconsistent with theoretical models that propose antiferromagnetism to result from spin-density-wave formation.
