| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter We investigate hole-doping by Sc substitution for Ti in the weak antiferromagnet (wAFM) system Ti(1-x)Sc(x)Au. Behavior reported so far fits a weak itinerant AFM picture, and experimentally leads to a quantum critical point (QCP) at x_c = 1/8. Here we study supercells with several rational fractions x of Ti replaced by Sc. We find, unexpectedly, definite local moment-like behavior, e.g. magnetic moments of the Ti atom comparable to or even larger than in the bulk persist even into the Ti-poor regime of this alloy system. Itinerant signatures persist, however, as the Ti 3d projected density of states displays van Hove singularity peaks near the Fermi level in most cases, revealing a striking similarity to nonmagnetic bulk TiAu. The current picture of this system, midway between itinerant and local moment, will be provided and discussed in light of experimental observations. |
