? 2022We report magnetic and thermal properties of Cu substituted Ni92?xCuxCr8 polycrystalline alloys close to their critical concentration (xc ~18%), where ferromagnetic order disappears. From the detailed analysis of field and temperature dependent magnetization data weak itinerant ferromagnetic character has been identified for the compositions below xc. Spin-fluctuations theory using the Ginzburg–Landau formalism further revealed the contributions of spin fluctuations, which increase near xc. Specific heat data shows unusual low-temperature variation with an enhanced Sommerfeld coefficient and non Fermi-liquid behavior due to strong magnetic fluctuations near xc. The magnetization data and the linear term of the specific heat follow the theoretical predictions of a ferromagnetic quantum critical point within the experimental uncertainties. The exponent of the power-law M(H) ∝Hλ fits to low-temperature magnetic isotherms and its variation with composition indeed suggests a possibility of quantum Griffiths phase in these alloy compositions. Finally, this study shows that the Cu substituted Ni-Cr system shows Griffiths phase at critical point even after the reduction of disorder.
