Abstract

We report ⁷³Ge-nuclear-quadrupole resonance (NQR) study of heavy-fermion compound CeNi₂ Ge₂. The temperature dependence of the ⁷³Ge nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation rate 1 / T₁ indicates the development of magnetic correlations and the formation of a Fermi-liquid state at temperatures lower than T_FL = 0.4 K, where 1 / T₁ T is constant. The 1 / T₁ T decrease below T_c^NQR = 0.1 K, whereas resistance decreases below T_c^onset = 0.2 K and does not become zero. These results indicate CeNi₂ Ge₂ closely locates to a superconducting quantum critical point.
