Abstract :
[en] U(Ru0.96Rh0.04)(2)Si-2 is an anisotropic itinerant 5f heavy electron system which exhibits a single field induced magnetic phase concealing a quantum critical point. We show that the boundary of this phase corresponds to a first order transition as revealed by (1) a large and symmetric specific heat anomaly, (2) an asymmetric magnetocaloric effect on entering and exiting this phase, and (3) a clear history and time-dependent specific heat. We explore the thermodynamic similarities with the mixed valence compound YbInCu4 and show that the out-of-equilibrium properties are analogous to those depicted by the critical state model for hard superconductors.
