We found that the critical behavior of the resistivity, rho, in this clean system contrasts sharply with those observed in its disordered analogue, NiS_{2-x}Se_{x} solid-solution, demonstrating the unexpectedly drastic effect of disorder on the quantum criticality. Over a whole paramagnetic region investigated up to P = 9 GPa, a crossover temperature, defined as the onset of T^{2} dependence of rho, an indication of Fermi liquid, was suppressed to a substantially low temperature T sim 2 K and, instead, a non Fermi liquid behavior of rho, T^{3/2}-dependence, robustly showed up.4 pagesStrongly Correlated ElectronsQuantum criticality and disorder in the antiferromagnetic critical point of NiS$_{2}$ pyritetext
