Abstract

AV₃Sb₅ (A = K, Rb, Cs) is a novel kagome superconductor coexisting with the charge density wave (CDW) order. Identifying the structure of the CDW order is crucial for understanding the exotic normal state and superconductivity in this system. Here, we report ⁵¹V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ^121/123Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on kagome-metal CsV₃Sb₅. Below the CDW transition temperature T_CDW ~ 98 K, an abrupt change of spectra was observed, indicating that the transition is of the first order. By further analyzing the spectra, we find that the CDW order is commensurate. And most remarkably, the obtained experimental results suggest that the charge modulation of the CDW order is of star-of-David pattern and accompanied by an additional charge modulation in bulk below T^* ~ 40 K. Our results revealing the unconventional CDW order provide new insights into AV₃Sb₅.

Abstract

The mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides (cuprate) remains elusive, with the pseudogap phase considered a potential factor. Recent attention has focused on a long-range symmetry-broken charge-density wave (CDW) order in the underdoped regime, induced by strong magnetic fields. Here by ^63,65Cu-nuclear magnetic resonance, we report the discovery of a long-range CDW order in the optimally doped Bi₂Sr_2−xLa_xCuO₆ superconductor, induced by in-plane strain exceeding ∣ε∣ = 0.15 %, which deliberately breaks the crystal symmetry of the CuO₂ plane. We find that compressive/tensile strains reduce superconductivity but enhance CDW, leaving superconductivity to coexist with CDW. The findings show that a long-range CDW order is an underlying hidden order in the pseudogap state, not limited to the underdoped regime, becoming apparent under strain. Our result sheds light on the intertwining of various orders in the cuprates.

Abstract

Spin-triplet superconductors are novel materials capable of harboring Majorana bound states that can be used in topological quantum computing. However, such bulk materials are still rare. Here we review the results that established K₂Cr₃As₃ as a spin-triplet superconductor with transition temperature T_c as high as 6.5 K. We focus on the multiple-phases feature, and its exquisite distance to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point which is likely responsible for the high T_c. We touch on the topological aspects of the superconducting state, and suggest that it is a new route to the technical implementation using a topological spin-triplet superconductor at the highest temperature ever.

Abstract

Clarifying the interplay between charge-density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity is important in the kagome metal CsV₃Sb₅, and pressure (P) can play a crucial role. Here, we present ^121/123Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements under hydrostatic pressures up to 2.43 GPa in CsV₃Sb₅ single crystals. We demonstrate that the CDW gradually changes from a commensurate modulation with a star-of-David (SoD) pattern to an incommensurate one with a superimposed SoD and Tri-hexagonal (TrH) pattern stacking along the c-axis. Moreover, the linewidth δν of ^121/123Sb-NQR spectra increases with cooling down to T_CDW, indicating the appearance of a short-range CDW order due to CDW fluctuations pinned by quenched disorders. The δν shows a Curie–Weiss temperature dependence and tends to diverge at P_c ~ 1.9 GPa, suggesting that a CDW quantum critical point (QCP) exists at P_c where T_c shows the maximum. For P > P_c, spin fluctuations are enhanced when the CDW is suppressed. Our results suggest that the maximal T_c at P_c ~ 1.9 GPa is related to the CDW QCP, and the presence of spin fluctuations prevents the T_c from a rapid decrease otherwise, after the CDW is completely suppressed.

The specific heat C of the cuprate superconductors La2-xSrxCuO4 and Bi2+ySr2-x-yLaxCuO6+δ was measured at low temperatures (down to 0.5 K) for dopings p close to p∗, the critical doping for the onset of the pseudogap phase. A magnetic field up to 35 T was applied to suppress superconductivity, giving direct access to the normal state at low temperatures, and enabling a determination of Ce, the electronic contribution to the normal-state specific heat at T→0. In La2-xSrxCuO4 at x=p=0.22, 0.24 and 0.25, Ce/T=15to16mJmol-1K-2 at T=2K, values that are twice as large as those measured at higher doping (p>0.3) and lower doping (p<0.15). This confirms the presence of a broad peak in the doping dependence of Ce at p∗≃0.19 as previously reported for samples in which superconductivity was destroyed by Zn impurities. Moreover, at those three dopings, we find a logarithmic growth as T→0 such that Ce/T∼Bln(T0/T). The peak versus p and the logarithmic dependence versus T are the two typical thermodynamic signatures of quantum criticality. In the very different cuprate Bi2+ySr2-x-yLaxCuO6+δ, we again find that Ce/T∼Bln(T0/T) at p≃p∗, strong evidence that this ln(1/T) dependence of the electronic specific heat - first discovered in the cuprates La1.8-xEu0.2SrxCuO4 and La1.6-xNd0.4SrxCuO4 - is a universal property of the pseudogap critical point.

A fundamental problem posed from the study of correlated electron compounds, of which heavy-fermion systems are prototypes, is the need to understand the physics of states near a quantum critical point (QCP). At a QCP, magnetic order is suppressed continuously to zero temperature and unconventional superconductivity often appears. Here, we report pressure T-c. (P)-dependent In-115 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRh0.5Ir0.5In5. These experiments reveal an antiferromagnetic (AF) QCP at P-c(AF) = 1.2 GPa where a dome of superconductivity reaches a maximum transition temperature Tc. Preceding P-c(AF), however, the NQR frequency nu(Q) undergoes an abrupt increase at P-c* = 0.8 GPa in the zero-temperature limit, indicating a change from localized to itinerant character of cerium's f-electron and associated small-to-large change in the Fermi surface. At P-c(AF) where T-c is optimized, there is an unusually large fraction of gapless excitations well below T-c that implicates spin-singlet, odd-frequency pairing symmetry.

The electronic and superconducting properties associated with the topologically nontrivial bands in Weyl semimetals have recently attracted much attention. We report the microscopic properties of the type-I Weyl semimetal TaAs measured by As-75 nuclear magnetic (quadrupole) resonance under zero and elevated magnetic fields over a wide temperature range up to 500 K. The magnetic susceptibility measured by the Knight shift K is found to be negative at low magnetic fields and has a strong field (B) dependence as In B at T = 1.56 K. Such nonlinear field-dependent magnetization can be well accounted for by Landau diamagnetism arising from the three-dimensional linearly dispersed bands, and thus is a fingerprint of topological semimetals. We further study the low-energy excitations by the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1. At zero field and 30 <= T <= 250 K, 1/T1T shows a T-2 variation due to Weyl-node excitations. At B similar to 13 T, 1/T1T exhibits the same T dependence but with a smaller value, scaling with K-2 alpha T-2, which indicates that the Korringa relation also holds for a Weyl semimetal. Analysis of the Korringa ratio reveals that the energy range of the linear bands is about 250 K in TaAs.

We report As-75-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on transition-metal arsenides LaRu2As (2), KCa2Fe4As4F2, and A(2)Cr(3)As(3). In the superconducting state of LaRu2As2, a Hebel-Slichter coherence peak is found in the temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 just below T-c, which indicates that LaRu2As2 is a full-gap superperconducor. For KCa2Fe4As4F2, antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are observed in the normal state. We further find that the anisotropy rate RAF=T1c/T1ab<i is small and temperature independent, implying that the low energy spin fluctuations are isotropic in spin space. Our results indicate that KCa2Fe4As4F2 is a moderately overdoped iron-arsenide high-temperature superconductor with a stoichiometric composition. For A(2)Cr(3)As(3) (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs), we calculate the electric field gradient by first-principle method and assign the As-75-NQR peaks to two crystallographically different As sites, paving the way for further NMR investigation.

Topological superconductors have attracted wide-spreading interests for the bright application perspectives to quantum computing. Cu0.3Bi2Se3 is a rare bulk topological superconductor with an odd-parity wave function, but the details of the vector order parameter d and its pinning mechanism are still unclear. Here, we succeed in growing CuxBi2Se3 single crystals with unprecedented high doping levels. For samples with x = 0.28, 0.36 and 0.37 with similar carrier density as evidenced by the Knight shift, the in-plane upper critical field H-c2 shows a two-fold symmetry. However, the angle at which the H-c2 becomes minimal is different by 90 degrees among them, which indicates that the d-vector direction is different for each crystal likely due to a different local environment. The carrier density for x = 0.46 and 0.54 increases substantially compared to x <= 0.37. Surprisingly, the in-plane H-c2 anisotropy disappears, indicating that the gap symmetry undergoes a transition from nematic to isotropic (possibly chiral) as carrier increases.

We report the Pb-207 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on polycrystalline sample of PbTaSe2 with noncentrosymmetric crystal structure and topological electronic band. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1 / T-1) shows a suppressed coherence peak below the superconducting transition temperature T-c = 4.05 K and decreases as an exponential function of temperature. The penetration depth derived from the NMR spectrum is almost temperature independent below T = 0.7 T-c. The Knight shift K decreases below T-c. These results suggest spin-singlet superconductivity with a fully opened gap 2 Delta = 3.5 k(B)T(c) in PbTaSe2.

The In-doped topological crystalline insulator Sn1-x In-x Te is a candidate for a topological superconductor, where a pseudo-spin-triplet state has been proposed. To clarify the spin symmetry of Sn1-x In-x Te, we perform Te-125-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in polycrystalline samples with 0 <= x <= 0.15. The penetration depth calculated from the NMR line width is T independent below half the superconducting transition temperature (T-c) in polycrystalline Sn0.96In0.04Te, which indicates a fully opened superconducting gap. In this sample, the spin susceptibility measured by the spin Knight shift (K-s) at an external magnetic field of H-mu 0(0) = 0.0872 T decreases below T-c, and K-s(T = 0)/K-s(T = T-c) reaches 0.36 +/- 0.10, which is far below the limiting value 2/3 expected for a spin-triplet state for a cubic crystal structure. Our result indicates that polycrystalline Sn0.96In0.04Te is a spin-singlet superconductor.

We report a new kagome quantum spin liquid candidate Cu3Zn(OH)(6)FBr, which does not experience any phase transition down to 50 mK, more than three orders lower than the antiferromagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature (similar to 200 K). A clear gap opening at low temperature is observed in the uniform spin susceptibility obtained from F-19 nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. We observe the characteristic magnetic field dependence of the gap as expected for fractionalized spin-1/2 spinon excitations. Our experimental results provide firm evidence for spin fractionalization in a topologically ordered spin system, resembling charge fractionalization in the fractional quantum Hall state.

Nematic order, a self-organized state with rotational symmetry broken, has been observed in both copperoxide and iron-pnictide high temperature superconductors. However, its origin is still a mystery in the iron pnictides although it is considered as a key to understand the mechanism of superconductivity. Here, we report a systemic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on NaFe(1-x)C(o)xAs (0 <= x <= 0.042) that an orbital order, accompanied by an instant spin nematicity, occurs at at a temperature T* far above structural transition temperature Ts in the tetragonal phase. We show that the observed NMR spectra splitting and its evolution is due to an incommensurate orbital order that sets in below T* and becomes commensurate below T-s. We show that the electric field gradient asymmetry parameter is a good measure for the orbital order parameter which undergoes a Landau-like 2nd-order phase transition. We further show that the spin nematicity is well accounted for by the observed orbital order.

Quasi-localized Impurity State in Doped Topological Crystalline Insulator Sn0.9In0.1Te Probed by Te-125-NMR

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN

The In-doped topological crystalline insulator Sn1-xInxTe is a promising candidate for a topological superconductor, where it is theoretically suggested that In creates an impurity state responsible for superconductivity. We synthesized high purity Sn1-xInxTe samples and performed Te-125-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The NMR spectra under a magnetic field of H-0 = 5T show a broadening characteristic due to a localized impurity state. The spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) divided by temperature shows a Curie-Weiss like temperature-dependence under H-0 = 0.1 T but is temperature-independent under H-0 = 5T. These results indicate the existence of quasi-localized impurity states due to In doping.

PHYSICAL REVIEW B 94 ( 21 ) 2016年12月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：AMER PHYSICAL SOC

The noncentrosymmetric superconductor Re6Zr has attracted much interest for its possible unconventional superconducting state with broken time-reversal symmetry. Here we report Re-185/187 nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements on Re6Zr (T-c = 6.72 K) and the isostructural compounds Re27Zr5 (T-c = 6.53 K) and Re24Zr5 (T-c = 5.00 K). The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a coherence peak below T-c and decreases exponentially at low temperatures in all three samples. The superconducting gap Delta derived from the 1/T-1 data is 2 Delta = 3.58k(B)T(c), 3.55k(B)T(c), and 3.51k(B)T(c) for Re6Zr, Re27Zr5, and Re24Zr5, respectively, which is close to the value of 3.53k(B)T(c) expected for weak-coupling superconductivity. These data suggest conventional s-wave superconductivity with a fully opened gap in this series of compounds.

Charge fluctuations and nodeless superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional Ta4Pd3Te16 revealed by Te-125-NMR and (181)nTa-NQR

We report Te-125 nuclear magnetic resonance and Ta-181 nuclear quadrupole resonance studies on single-crystal Ta4Pd3Te16, which has a quasi-one-dimensional structure and superconducts below T-c = 4.3 K. Ta-181 with spin I = 7/2 is sensitive to quadrupole interactions, while Te-125 with spin I = 1/2 can only relax by magnetic interactions. By comparing the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) of Ta-181 and Te-125, we found that electric-field-gradient (EFG) fluctuations develop below 80 K. The EFG fluctuations are enhanced with decreasing temperature due to the fluctuations of a charge densitywave that sets in at T-CDW = 20 K, below which the spectra are broadened and 1/T1T drops sharply. In the superconducting state, 1/T-1 shows a Hebel-Slichter coherence peak just below Tc for Te-125, indicating that Ta4Pd3Te16 is a full-gap superconductor without nodes in the gap function. The coherence peak is absent in the 1/T-1 of Ta-181 due to the strong EFG fluctuations.

New superconductivity dome in LaFeAsO1-xFx far away from magnetism and accompanied by structural transition

We report on the discovery and novel physics of a new superconductivity dome in LaFeAsO1-xFx with high-doping rate (0.25 <= x <= 0.75) synthesized by using the high-pressure technique. The maximal critical temperature T-c = 30 K peaked at x(opt) = 0.5 similar to 0.55, which is even higher than that at x <= 0.2. By nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we find that the new superconducting dome is far away from a magnetically ordered phase without low-energy magnetic fluctuations. Instead, NMR and transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that a C4 rotation symmetry-breaking structural transition takes place for x > 0.5 above T-c. The electrical resistivity shows a temperature-linear behavior around the doping level where the crystal transition temperature extrapolate to zero and T-c is the maximal, suggesting the importance of quantum fluctuations associated with the structural transition. Our results point to a new paradigm of high temperature superconductivity.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is an important concept for understanding physics ranging from the elementary particles to states of matter. For example, the superconducting state breaks global gauge symmetry, and unconventional superconductors can break further symmetries. In particular, spin-rotational symmetry is expected to be broken in spin triplet superconductors. However, experimental evidence for such symmetry breaking has not been conclusively obtained so far in any candidate compounds. Here, using Se-77 nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, we show that spin-rotation symmetry is spontaneously broken in the hexagonal plane of the electron-doped topological insulator Cu0.3Bi2Se3 below the superconducting transition temperature T-c = 3.4 K. Our results not only establish spin-triplet superconductivity in this compound, but may also serve to lay a foundation for the research of topological superconductivity.

In iron pnictides, high temperature superconductivity emerges after suppressing antiferromagnetism by doping. Here, we show that antiferromagnetism in Ca1-xLaxFeAs2 is robust against and even enhanced by doping. Using As75-nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance techniques, we find that an antiferromagnetic order occurs below the Néel temperature TN=62 K at a high doping concentration (x=0.15) where superconductivity sets in at the transition temperature Tc=35 K. In the superconducting state coexisting with antiferromagnetism, the nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 becomes proportional to T, indicating gapless excitations. Unexpectedly, TN is enhanced with increasing doping, rising up to TN=70 K at x=0.24. The obtained phase diagram of this system enriches the physics of iron-based high-Tc superconductors.

High-temperature superconductivity is often found in the vicinity of antiferromagnetism. This is also true in LaFeAsO1-xFx (x <= 0.2) and many other iron-based superconductors, which leads to proposals that superconductivity is mediated by fluctuations associated with the nearby magnetism. Here we report the discovery of a new superconductivity dome without low-energy magnetic fluctuations in LaFeAsO1-xFx with 0.25 <= x <= 0.75, where the maximal critical temperature T-c at x(opt) = 0.5-0.55 is even higher than that at x <= 0.2. By nuclear magnetic resonance and transmission electron microscopy, we show that a C4 rotation symmetry-breaking structural transition takes place for x > 0.5 above T-c. Our results point to a new paradigm of high temperature superconductivity.

Ferromagnetic Spin Fluctuation and Unconventional Superconductivity in Rb2Cr3As3 Revealed by As-75 NMR and NQR

We report As-75 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on the superconductor Rb2Cr3As3 with a quasi-one-dimensional crystal structure. Below T similar to 100 K, the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) divided by temperature, 1/T1T, increases upon cooling down to T-c = 4.8 K, showing a Curie-Weiss-like temperature dependence. The Knight shift also increases with decreasing temperature. These results suggest ferromagnetic spin fluctuation. In the superconducting state, 1/T-1 decreases rapidly below T-c without a Hebel-Slichter peak, and follows a T-5 variation below T similar to 3 K, which points to unconventional superconductivity with point nodes in the gap function.

In many cases, unconventional superconductivity are realized by suppressing another order parameter, such as charge density wave (CDW) or spin density wave (SDW). This suggests that the fluctuations of these order parameters play an important role in producing superconductivity. LaPt2Ge2 undergoes a tetragonal-to-monoclinic structural phase transition (SPT) at Ts=394 K, accompanying a double period modulation in the a-axis direction, and superconducts at Tc=0.41 K. We performed band calculations and found 2D (two dimensional)-like Fermi surfaces with partial nesting. A reduction in the density of states in the monoclinic phase was found in the calculation and confirmed by Pt195-NMR. We suggest a CDW as a possible cause for the SPT. By changing the stoichiometry between Pt and Ge, we succeeded in suppressing Ts and increasing Tc in LaPt2-xGe2+x. Comparison of La139- and Pt195-NMR data reveals moderate fluctuations associated with SPT. From La139-NQR measurements at zero field, we found that an isotropic superconducting gap is realized in LaPt2-xGe2+x (x=0.20). We discuss the relationship between superconductivity and the SPT order/fluctuations.

Magnetism and superconductivity in Sr2VFeAsO3 revealed by As-75- and V-51-NMR under elevated pressures

We report As-75 and V-51 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on the iron-based superconductor Sr2VFeAsO3 with alternating stacks structure. We find that the As-75 nuclear spin-spin relaxation rate (1/T-2) shows a pronounced peak at T-N = 165 K, below which the resonance peak shifts to a higher frequency due to the onset of an internal magnetic field. The V-51 spectrum does not shift, but is broadened below T-N. We conclude that the Fe electrons order antiferromagnetically below T-N with a magnetic moment m(Fe) similar to 0.4 mu B. Application of external pressure up to 2.4 GPa reduces T-N at a rate of -40 K/GPa, and enhances the superconducting transition temperature T-c at a rate of 2 K/GPa. The pressure-temperature phase diagram for Sr2VFeAsO3 shows that superconductivity coexists with antiferromagnetism over a wide pressure range with an unprecedented high T-c up to 36.5 K.

We report Pt-195-NMR and As-75 nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements for the locally noncentrosymmetric superconductor SrPtAs where the As-Pt layer breaks inversion symmetry while globally the compound is centrosymmetric. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a well-defined coherence peak below T-c and decreases exponentially at low temperatures. The spin susceptibility measured by the Knight shift also decreases below Tc down to T < T-c/6. These data, together with the penetration depth obtained from the NMR spectra, can be consistently explained by a spin-singlet superconducting state with a full gap. Our results suggest that the spin-orbit coupling due to the local inversion-symmetry breaking is not large enough to bring about an exotic superconducting state, or the interlayer hopping interaction is larger than the spin-orbit coupling.

Superconductors with noncentrosymmetric crystal structures such as Li2T3B(T:Pd,Pt) have been the focus of in-depth research with their parity mixing nature. In this study, we focused our research on non-magnetic impurity effect in Li2T3B(T:Pd,Pt). The nature of the pair breaking by non-magnetic impurity in the parity mixing superconducting state is still unclear. We prepared different quality samples of Li2Pd3B and Li2Pt3B by changing conditions in synthesizing, and sample qualities were estimated by residual resistivity. Spin singlet dominant superconductor Li2Pd3B exhibits the weak T-c suppression attributed by nonmagnetic impurity and defects, while H-c2 (0) value increased. This behavior is similar in ordinary s-wave superconductor. On the other hand, for the spin triplet dominant superconductor Li2Pt3B, it was suggested that the Cooper pair was broken and superconducting gap was decreased by non-magnetic impurities and defects. Li2Pt3B is similar to unconventional superconducting state. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements for non-centrosymmetric superconductors Re7B3, LaBiPt, and BiPd containing heavy elements. For all three compounds, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a coherence peak just below T-c and decreases exponentially at low temperatures, which indicates that an isotropic superconducting gap is dominant in these compounds. In BiPd, the height of the coherence peak just below T-c is much suppressed, which suggests that there exists a substantial component of gap with nodes in this compound. Our results indicate that heavy element is not the only factor, but the extent of inversion symmetry breaking is also important to induce a large spin-orbit coupling and an unconventional superconducting state.

A quantum critical point is a point in a system's phase diagram at which an order is completely suppressed at absolute zero temperature (T). The presence of a quantum critical point manifests itself in the finite-T physical properties, and often gives rise to new states of matter. Superconductivity in the cuprates and in heavy fermion materials is believed by many to be mediated by fluctuations associated with a quantum critical point. In the recently discovered iron-pnictide superconductors, we report transport and NMR measurements on BaFe2 - xNixAs2 (0 <= x <= 0.17). We find two critical points at x(c1) = 0.10 and x(c2) = 0.14. The electrical resistivity follows rho = rho(0) + AT(n), with n = 1 around x(c1) and another minimal n = 1.1 at x(c2). By NMR measurements, we identity x(c1) to be a magnetic quantum critical point and suggest that x(c2) is a new type of quantum critical point associated with a nematic structural phase transition. Our results suggest that the superconductivity in carrier-doped pnictides is closely linked to the quantum criticality.

Over the past 20 years, fullerides have been studied as the source of high-transition-temperature (T-c) superconductivity except for copper oxides. The recent finding of the Mott insulating state right beside superconductivity in Cs3C60 has suggested that magnetism helps raise T-c even in fullerides as in heavy-fermion compounds, high-T-c copper oxides, two-dimensional organic conductors, and iron pnictides. Namely, one tends to think that the link between Mott insulator and superconductivity takes place in fullerides, which can give rise to the mechanism beyond the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer framework. However, the relationship between the Mott state and the superconductivity in Cs3C60 is still under debate. By nuclear magnetic resonance measurements under pressure, we find that the magnetism and superconductivity in Cs3C60 are competing orders. Different from previous reports, the phase separation of Cs3C60 crystals into the Mott and metallic states allows us to systematically study the evolution of the ground state under pressure. Our careful experiments have found that the prevention of a magnetic order is rather essential for the superconductivity in face-centred cubic Cs3C60, which presents a basic strategy for finding still higher T-c in this system.

We report B-11 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of the impurity effect in noncentrosymmetric superconductors Li2Pt3B and Li2Pd3B. We substitute B with Al, and find that the full width of half maximum (FWHM) of the NMR spectrum increases with increasing Al content. The superconducting transition temperature (T-c) of Li2Pt3 B1-xAlx decreases drastically with increasing non-magnetic impurity (Al) content, while it is hardly affected in Li2Pd3 B(1-x)A(l)x. These results provide new evidence for superconducting gap with line nodes in Li2Pt3B.

We have performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on an underdoped single-crystal Ba0. 77K0. 23Fe2As2 with Tc = 16. 5 K. Below TN = 46 K, an internal magnetic field splits the NMR peaks of H ∥ c and shifts those of H ∥ a to higher frequencies. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 measured at the central peak with H ∥ a shows a distinct decrease below Tc(μ0H = 12 T) = 16 K. Our results clearly show that antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity coexist at a microscopical length scale. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

We report As-75 nuclear magnetic resonance studies on an underdoped single-crystal Ba0.77K0.23Fe2As2 with T-c = 16.5 K. Below T-N = 46 K, the NMR peaks for H parallel to c split and those for H parallel to a shift to higher frequencies, which indicates that an internal magnetic field along the c axis develops below T-N. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 measured at the shifted peak with H parallel to a, which experiences the internal field, shows a distinct decrease below T-c(mu H-0 = 12 T) = 16 K, following a T-3 relation at low temperatures. Our results show unambiguously that antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity coexist microscopically. The unusual superconducting state with the coexisting magnetism is highlighted.

We present results for the pseudogap ground state and its doping evolution in single-layered copper-oxide Bi2Sr2-x La (x) CuO6+delta . We apply very high magnetic fields up to 44 T to remove the superconducting state and reveal the hidden low temperature (T) normal state. Through Cu-63-NMR Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate measurements, we find that there remains a finite density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level in the zero-T limit when the superconductivity is removed, which indicates that the pseudogap ground state is a metallic state with a finite volume of Fermi surface. The residual DOS in the pseudogap ground state decreases with decreasing doping (increasing x), but remains quite large even at the vicinity of the magnetically ordered phase of xa parts per thousand yen 0.8. The result indicates that the superconductivity emerges from the remaining Fermi surface and coexists with the pseudogap.

MULTIPLE SUPERCONDUCTING GAPS, ANISOTROPIC SPIN FLUCTUATIONS AND SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING IN IRON-PNICTIDES 査読

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD

This article reviews the NMR and NQR studies on iron-based high-temperature superconductors by the IOP/Okayama group. It was found that the electron pairs in the superconducting state are in the spin-singlet state with multiple fully-opened energy gaps. The antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in the normal state are found to be closely correlated with the superconductivity. Also, the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are anisotropic in the spin space, which is different from the case in copper oxide superconductors. This anisotropy originates from the spin-orbit coupling and is an important reflection of the multiple-bands nature of this new class of superconductors.

Based on the NMR measurements on Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+delta (La-Bi2201) in strong magnetic fields, we identify the nonsuperconducting pseudogap phase in the cuprates as a Luttinger-volume violating Fermi liquid (LvvFL). This state is a zero-temperature quantum liquid that does not break translational symmetry, and yet, the Fermi surface encloses a volume smaller than the large one given by the Luttinger theorem. The particle number enclosed by the small Fermi surface in the LvvFL equals the doping level p, not the total electron number n(e) = 1 - p. Both the phase string theory and the dopon theory are introduced to describe the LvvFL. For the dopon theory, we can obtain a semiquantitative agreement with the NMR experiments.

We report a systematic study by As-75 nuclear-quadrupole resonance in LaFeAsO1-xFx. The antiferro-magnetic spin fluctuation found above the magnetic ordering temperature T-N = 58 K for x = 0.03 persists in the regime 0.04 <= x <= 0.08, where superconductivity sets in. A dome-shaped x dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T-c is found, with the highest T-c = 27 K at x = 0.06, which is realized under significant antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation. With increasing x further, the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation decreases, and so does T-c. These features resemble closely the cuprates La2-xSrxCuO4. In x = 0.06, the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) below T-c decreases exponentially down to 0.13T(c), which unambiguously indicates that the energy gaps are fully opened. The temperature variation of 1/T1 below T-c is rendered nonexponential for other x by impurity scattering.

We report the results of (63,65) Cu-NMR measurements on single-layered copper-oxide Bi2Sr1.6La0.4CuO6+delta (T-c = 32 K) conducted under very high magnetic fields up to 45 T. The high magnetic field suppresses superconductivity completely, and the pseudogap ground state is revealed. The Cu-63-NMR Knight shift shows that there remains a finite density of states at the Fermi level in the zero-temperature limit, which indicates that the pseudogap ground state is a metallic state with a fi nite volume of Fermi surface.

The spin singlet and spin triplet superconducting states can coexist in noncentrosymmetric crystal structures like Li2T3B (T: Pd, Pt), while it is prohibited in ordinary crystal structures. In this study, we focused our research on non-magnetic impurity effect in Li2T3B(T: Pd, Pt). The nature of the pair breaking by non-magnetic impurity in the parity mixing superconducting state is still unclear. We investigated the effect of non-magnetic impurity on s-wave dominant parity mixing superconductor Li2Pd3B by substituting B with Al. In this substitution process, we controlled the quality of the samples and showed their quality deteriorations through the measurement of residual resistivity at T-c. Furthermore, we checked the relations of residual resistivity and T-c as well as its superconducting phase diagram. Our results showed that s-wave dominant parity mixing superconductor Li2Pd3B exhibits the small T-c suppression attributed by the non-magnetic impurities and defects, while the H-c2 value clearly increased about 1.5 times in the poor quality samples. Such behaviours are similarly observed in ordinary s-wave superconductors.

We report on the pairing symmetry and the spin correlations in the Fe(Ni)-based superconductors RFe(Ni)AsO1-xFx (R=Pr, La), LiFeAs and Ba1-xKxFe2As2 single crystals, based on our extensive nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements. The spin susceptibility measured by the Knight shift decreases below T-c along all crystal directions, which indicates spin-singlet pairing. Evidence for multiple gaps is given. We find that the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation is anisotropic in the spin space due to spin-orbit coupling, but becomes isotropic in the temperature limit, which points to spin-singlet superconductivity with nodeless gap.

As-75-zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements are performed on CaFe2As2 under pressure. At P = 4.7 and 10.8 kbar, the temperature dependence of nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) measured at tetragonal phase show no coherence peak just below T-c and decrease with decreasing temperature. The superconductivity is of gapless at P = 4.7 kbar but evolves to multiple gaps at P = 10.8 kbar. We find that the superconductivity appears near a quantum critical point. Both electron correlation and superconductivity disappear in the collapsed tetragonal phase. A systematic study under pressure indicates that electron correlations play a vital role in forming Cooper pairs in this compound.

We present extensive (75)As NMR and NQR data on the superconducting arsenides PrFeAs(0.89)F(0.11) (T(c) = 45 K), LaFeAsO(0.92)F(0.08) (T(c) = 27 K), LiFeAs (T(c) = 17 K) and Ba(0.72)K(0.28)Fe(2)As(2) (T(c) = 31.5 K) single crystal, and compare with the nickel analog LaNiAsO(0.9)F(0.1) (T(c) = 4.0 K). In contrast to LaNiAsO(0.9)F(0.1) where the superconducting gap is shown to be isotropic, the spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) in the Fe-arsenides decreases below T(c) with no coherence peak and shows a step-wise variation at low temperatures. The Knight shift decreases below T(c) and shows a step-wise T variation as well. These results indicate spin-singlet superconductivity with multiple gaps in the Fe-arsenides. The Fe antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are anisotropic and weaker compared to underdoped copper-oxides or cobalt-oxide superconductors, while there is no significant electron correlations in LaNiAsO(0.9)F(0.1). We will discuss the implications of these results and highlight the importance of the Fermi surface topology. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report As-75 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on oxypnictide superconductors LaFeAsO1-xFx (x=0.08, 0.15) and LaNiAsO1-xFx (x=0, 0.06, 0.10, 0.12). In LaFeAsO0.92F0.08 (T-c=23 K), nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows no coherence peak just below T-c and decreases with decreasing temperature accompanied by a hump structure at T similar to 0.4T(c), which is a characteristic of the multigap superconductivity. In the normal state, the quantity 1/T1T increases with decreasing temperature to T-c, indicating that the existence of antiferromagnetic correlation originating from its multiple electronic band structure. On the other hand, LaNiAsO1-xFx shows a clear Hebel-Slichter (coherence) peak just below T-c, evidencing that the LaNiAsO1-xFx is a BCS superconductor. In the normal state, 1/T-1 T is constant in the temperature range 4 <= T <= 10 K for all LaNiAsO1-xFx, which indicates electron correlations are weak. We suggest that the contrasting behavior of both superconductivity and electron correlations in LaFeAsO0.92F0.08 and LaNiAsO1-xFx between them relate to the difference of electronic band structure configuration. We also provide a possible interpretation for the pseudogap-like behavior in the normal state observed in both compounds. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report As-75 nuclear magnetic resonance studies on a very clean hole-doped single-crystal Ba0.68K0.32Fe2As2 (T-c = 38.5 K). The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows an exponential decrease below T similar or equal to 0.45T(c) down to T similar or equal to 0.11T(c), which indicates a fully opened energy gap. From the ratio (T-1)(c)/(T-1)(a), where a and c denote the crystal directions, we find that the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation is anisotropic in the spin space above T-c. The anisotropy decreases below T-c and disappears at T -> 0. We argue that the anisotropy stems from spin-orbit coupling whose effect vanishes when spin-singlet electron pairs form with a nodeless gap.

We report the results of the Knight shift by Cu-63,Cu-65-NMR measurements on single-layered copper-oxide Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+delta conducted under very high magnetic fields up to 44 T. The magnetic field suppresses superconductivity completely, and the pseudogap ground state is revealed. The Cu-63-NMR Knight shift shows that there remains a finite density of states at the Fermi level in the zero-temperature limit, which indicates that the pseudogap ground state is a metallic state with a finite volume of Fermi surface. The residual density of states in the pseudogap ground state decreases with decreasing doping (increasing x) but remains quite large even at the vicinity of the magnetically ordered phase of x >= 0.8, which suggests that the density of states plunges to zero upon approaching the Mott insulating phase.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN

We report the As-75-NQR and NMR studies on the iron arsenide superconductor LiFeAs with T-c similar to 17 K. The spin lattice relaxation rate, 1/T-1, decreases below T-c without a coherence peak, and can be fitted by gaps with s(+/-)-wave symmetry in the presence of impurity scattering. In the normal state, both 1/T1T and the Knight shift decrease with decreasing temperature but become constant below T <= 50 K. Estimate of the Korringa ratio shows that the spin correlations are weaker than those in other families of iron arsenides, which may account for the lower T-c in this material.

We find that the Fe antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations are anisotropic and are weaker compared to underdoped copper-oxides or cobalt-oxide superconductors. The spin lattice relaxation rate 1 / T-1 decreases below T-c with no coherence peak and shows a step-wise variation at low temperatures. The Knight shift decreases below T-c and shows a step-wise T variation as well. These results indicate spin-singlet superconductivity with multiple gaps.

As-75-zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements are performed on CaFe2As2 under pressure. At P = 4.7 and 10.8 kbar, the temperature dependencies of nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) measured in the tetragonal phase show no coherence peak just below T-c(P) and decrease with decreasing temperature. The superconductivity is gapless at P = 4.7 kbar but evolves to that with multiple gaps at P = 10.8 kbar. We find that the superconductivity appears near a quantum critical point under pressures in the range 4.7 kbar <= P <= 10.8 kbar. Both electron correlation and superconductivity disappear in the collapsed tetragonal phase. A systematic study under pressure indicates that electron correlations play a vital role in forming Cooper pairs in this compound.

We report B-11 NMR measurements in noncentrosymmetric superconductors Mg9.3Ir19B16.7 (T-c=5.8 K) and Mg10.5Ir19B17.1 (T-c=4.8 K). The spin-lattice relaxation rate and the Knight shift indicate that the Cooper pairs are predominantly in the spin-singlet state with an isotropic gap. However, Mg10.5Ir19B17.1 is found to have more defects and the spin susceptibility remains finite even in the zero-temperature limit. We interpret this result as that the defects enhance the spin-orbit coupling and bring about more spin-triplet component.

In the bulk-sensitive laser-excited photoemission study, we observed that the intensity at the Fermi level decreases as we lower the sample temperature, indicative of the opening of superconducting energy gap. Using Dynes' function, we performed fitting analysis on the spectra of superconducting state.

We report As-75 nuclear quadrupole resonance studies on superconducting oxypnictide LaFeAsO0.92F0.08 (T-c=23 K). The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) decreases below T-c without a coherence (Hebel-Slichter) peak and shows a temperature dependence that is not simple power law nor exponential. We show that the result can be understood in terms of two superconducting gaps of either d- or +/- s-wave symmetry, with the larger gap Delta(1)similar to 4k(B)T(c) and the smaller one Delta(2)similar to 1.5k(B)T(c). Our result suggests that the multiple-gap feature is universal in the oxypnictide superconductors, which is probably associated with the multiple electronic band structures in this class of materials. We also find that 1/T1T above T-c increases with decreasing temperature, which suggests weak magnetic fluctuations in the normal state.

We report Co-59 NMR studies in single crystals of the cobalt oxide superconductor Na0.42CoO2 center dot 1.3H(2)O (T-c = 4.25 K) and its parent compound Na0.42CoO2. We find that both the magnitude and the temperature (T) dependence of the Knight shifts are identical in the two compounds above T-c. The spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) is also identical above T-0 similar to 60K for both compounds. Below T-0, the unhydrated sample is found to be a non-correlated metal that well conforms to the Fermi liquid theory, while spin fluctuations develop in the superconductor. These results indicate that water intercalation does not change the density of states at the Fermi level or the carrier density but its primary role is to bring about spin fluctuations. Our result shows that, in the hydrated superconducting compound, the electron correlation is anisotropic. Namely, the spin fluctuation around the finite wave vector is much stronger along the a-axis direction than that along the c-axis direction. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2008

We report (123)Sb nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements of the filled skutterudite heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs(4)Sb(12) under high pressure. The temperature dependence of NQR frequency and the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) indicate that the crystal-electric-field splitting Delta(CEF) between the ground-state Gamma(1) singlet and the first-excited-state Gamma((2))(4) triplet decreases with increasing pressure. ac-susceptibility measurements indicate that the superconducting transition temperature (T(c)) also decreases with increasing pressure. However, above P similar to 2 GPa, both Delta(CEF) and T(c) do not depend on external pressure up to P =3.82 GPa. These pressure dependences of Delta(CEF) and T(c) suggest an intimate relationship between quadrupole excitations associated with the Gamma((2))(4) level and unconventional superconductivity in PrOs(4)Sb(12). In the superconducting state, 1/T(1) below T(c)= 1.55 and 1.57 K at P= 1.91 and 2.63 GPa shows a power-law temperature variations and is proportional to T(5) at temperatures considerably below T(c). These data can be well fitted by the gap model Delta(theta) = Delta(0) sin theta, with Delta(0)= 3.08k(B)T(c) and 3.04k(B)T(c) for P= 1.91 and 2.63 GPa, respectively. The results indicate that there exist point nodes in the gap function.

In order to obtain microscopic information about the metal-insulator (M-I) transition in SmRu4P12, P-31-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements using a single crystal have been carried out. Each P-31-NMR line splits into two lines below the M-I transition temperature, consistent with the antiferro-type ordered structure with a wave vector q = (1, 0, 0) proposed by the previous Ru-101-NQR experiments. We also found a remarkable kink in the temperature dependence of the resonance frequencies at 12.5K, which may be related to an anomaly in the temperature dependence of the order parameter.

We report As-75 and F-19 NMR studies on the superconducting properties of the newly discovered compound PrFeAsO0.89F0.11 (T-c = 45 K). The Knight shift in the direction of H parallel to ab-plane decreases below T-c to almost zero, which indicates spin-singlet pairing. The temperature dependencies of both the Knight shift and the spin lattice relaxation rate indicate that there are two gaps opening below T-c, with nodes in the gap function.

We report the spin susceptibility in the superconducting state of the cobalt oxide superconductor NaxCoO2 center dot 1.3H(2)O, via the (CO)-C-59 Knight shift measurements. Along both a- and c-axis directions, the shift decreases below T-c. At T = 1.7 K, the shift along the a-axis, K-a increases with increasing the strength of magnetic field (H), following a root H variation. Together with the T-3 dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/T-1, these results indicate unambiguously that the Cooper pairs are in the spin-singlet form and that there exist nodes in the gap function. The data are most consistent with a d-wave symmetry. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report T-c and Co-59 nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements on the cobalt oxide superconductor NaxCoO2 center dot 1.3H(2)O (T-c=4.8 K) under hydrostatic pressure (P) up to 2.36 GPa. T-c decreases with increasing pressure at an average rate of -0.49 +/- 0.09 K/GPa. At low pressures P <= 0.49 GPa, the decrease of T-c is accompanied by a weakening of the spin correlations at a finite wave vector and a reduction of the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level. At high pressures above 1.93 GPa, however, the decrease of T-c is mainly due to a reduction of the DOS. These results indicate that the electronic and magnetic state of Co is primarily responsible for the superconductivity. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 at P=0.49 GPa shows a T-3 variation below T-c down to T similar to 0.12T(c), which provides compelling evidence for the presence of line nodes in the superconducting gap function.

The surprise discovery of superconductivity below 5 K in sodium cobalt oxides when hydrated with water has caught the attention of experimentalists and theorists alike. Most explanations for its occurence have focused heavily on the properties of some small elliptically shaped pockets predicted to be the electronically dominant Fermi surface sheet, but direct attempts to look for them have instead cast serious doubts over their existence. Here we present evidence that these pockets do indeed exist, based on bulk measurements of the electron momentum distribution in unhydrated and hydrated sodium cobalt oxides using the technique of x-ray Compton scattering.

We report the results of NQR (nuclear quadrupole resonance) study on SmRu4P12, one of a few candidates for materials showing octupolar ordering. In this study, we firstly succeeded in observing the Ru-101-NQR signal in filled skutterudite compounds RRu4P12 (R: rare earth). A single Ru-101-NQR signal splits into two resonance lines, having intensity ratio of 3 : 1, just below the metal-insulator (M-I) transition temperature of 16.5 K. This result gives convincing evidence for symmetry lowering in the ordered state of this compound, namely the cubic Im(3) over bar space group for the filled skutterudite compounds is lowered to the trigonal R(3) over bar. The model of the ordered structure characterized by a wave vector q = (1, 0, 0) satisfactorily explains the observed phenomena in the present study and the M-I transition in this compound.

In order to investigate the microscopic origin of the transitions at T-MI similar to 16.5K and T* similar to 14K in filled skutterudite compound SmRu4P12, we have carried out P-31-NMR measurements using a single crystal sample. The drastic change in the NMR line-shape below TMI was observed, which is attributed to the occurrence of some long-range magnetic ordering. The order is probably associated with octupole ordering as indicated from the NMR measurements on the powder sample of SmRu4P12. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We present a La-139 NMR study on the colossal magneto-resistance (CMR) in double-layered manganese oxide La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7. Above the Curie temperature TC = 126 K, applying a magnetic field is found to induce a ferromagnetic order that persists up to T = 330 K. The critical field at which the induced magnetic moment is saturated agrees well with the field at which the CMR effect reaches to a maximum. Our results indicate that the CMR observed above TC is due to the field-induced ferromagnetism that produces a metallic state via the double exchange interaction. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Novel superconductivity at the magnetic critical point in heavy-fermion systems: a systematic study of NQR under pressure 招待査読

We report on the discovery of exotic superconductivity (SC) and novel magnetism in heavy-fermion (HF) compounds, CeCu2Si2, CeRhIn5 and CeIn3, on the verge of antiferromagnetism (AFM) through nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements under pressure (P). The exotic SC in a homogeneous CeCu2Si2 (T-c = 0.7 K) revealed antiferromagnetic critical fluctuations at the border to AFM or a marginal AFM. Remarkably, it has been found that the application of magnetic field induces a spin-density-wave (SDW) transition by suppressing the SC near the upper critical field. Furthermore, the uniform mixed phase of SC and AFM in CeCu2(Si1-xGex)(2) emerges on a microscopic level, once a tiny amount of 1% Ge (x = 0.01) is substituted for Si to expand its lattice. The application of minute pressure (P similar to 0.19 GPa) suppresses the sudden emergence of the AFM caused by doping Ge. The persistence of the low-lying magnetic excitations at temperatures lower than T-c and T-N is ascribed to the uniform mixed phase of SC and AFM.
Likewise, the P-induced HF superconductor CeRhIn5 coexists with AFM on a microscopic level in P = 1.5-1.9 GPa. It is demonstrated that SC does not yield any trace of gap opening in low-lying excitations below the onset temperature, presumably associated with an amplitude fluctuation of superconducting order parameter. The unconventional gapless nature of SC in the low-lying excitation spectrum emerges due to the uniform mixed phase of AFM and SC.
By contrast, in CeIn3, the P-induced phase separation of AFM and paramagnetism (PM) takes place without any trace for a quantum phase transition. The outstanding finding is that SC sets in at both the phases magnetically separated into AFM and PM in P = 2.28-2.5 GPa. A new type of SC forms the uniform mixed phase with AFM and the HF SC occurs in PM. We propose that the magnetic excitations such as spin-density fluctuations induced by the first-order phase transition from AFM to PM might mediate attractive interaction to form the Cooper pairs in the novel phase of AFM.

We report Sb-123 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements of the filled skutterudite heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs4Sb12 under high pressures of 1.91 and 2.34GPa. The temperature dependence of NQR frequency and the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 indicate that the crystal-electricfield splitting Delta(CEF) between the ground state Gamma(1) singlet and the first excited state Gamma((2))(4) triplet decreases with increasing pressure. The 1/T-1 below T-c = 1.55 K at P = 1.91 GPa shows a power-law temperature variation and is proportional to T-5 at temperatures considerably below T,, which indicates the existence of Point nodes in the superconducting gap function. The data can be well fitted by the gap model Delta(theta) = Delta(0) sin theta with Delta(0) = 3.08k-B T-c. The relation between the superconductivity and the quadrupole fluctuations associated with the 1,(2) state is discussed.

We report B-11 and Pt-195 NMR measurements in noncentrosymmetric superconductor Li2Pt3B. We find that the spin susceptibility measured by the Knight shift remains unchanged across the superconducting transition temperature T-c. With decreasing temperature (T) below T-c, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 decreases with no coherence peak and is in proportion to T-3. These results indicate that the Cooper pair is in the spin-triplet state and that there exist line nodes in the superconducting gap function. They are in sharp contrast to those in the isostructural Li2Pd3B which is a spin-singlet, s-wave superconductor, and are ascribed to the enhanced spin-orbit coupling due to the lack of spatial inversion symmetry. Our finding points to a new paradigm where exotic superconductivity arises in the absence of electron-electron correlations.

We report intensive studies on the cobalt oxide superconductors NaxCoO2 center dot 1.3H(2)O via Co-59 NMR and NQR measurements. In the sample with x = 0.26 and T-c = 4.6, we find that the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a T-3 variation below T-c and down to very low temperatures, which indicates the presence of line nodes in the superconducting (SC) gap function. We have also studied the spin susceptibility below T-c via the Knight shift measurement. The spin part of the Knight shift decreases below T-c in both the a- and c-directions indicating singlet spin state of the Cooper pairs. Our results strongly suggest that the superconducting state is a d-wave state. (c) 2006 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

We report a Co-59 Knight-shift measurement in a single crystal of the cobalt oxide superconductor NaxCoO2 center dot 1.3H(2)O (T-c=4.25 K). We find that the shift due to the spin susceptibility, K-s, is substantially large and anisotropic, with the spin shift along the a-axis K-a(s) being two times that along the c-axis K-c(s). The shift decreases with decreasing temperature (T) down to T approximate to 100 K, then becomes a constant until superconductivity sets in. Both K-a(s) and K-c(s) decrease below T-c. Our results indicate unambiguously that the electron pairing in the superconducting state is in the spin singlet form.

Upon replacing Os with Ru, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 becomes proportional to temperature (T) at low temperatures far below T-c, and the magnitude of (1/T1T)(low-T) increases with increasing Ru content. These results indicate that a finite density of states are induced at the Fermi level by the impurity, suggesting that there exist nodes in the gap function of PrOs4Sb12. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Field-induced ferromagnetic order and colossal magnetoresistance in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7: A La-139 NMR study

In order to gain insights into the origin of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in manganese oxides, we performed a La-139 NMR study in the double-layered compound La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7. We find that above the Curie temperature T-C = 126 K, applying a magnetic field induces a long-range ferromagnetic order that persists up to T = 330 K. The critical field at which the induced magnetic moment is saturated coincides with the field at which the CMR effect reaches a maximum. Our results therefore indicate that the CMR observed above T-C in this compound is due to the field-induced ferromagnetism that produces a metallic state via the double exchange interaction.

We report systematic measurements using the Co-59 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) technique on the cobalt oxide superconductors NaxCoO2.1.3H(2)O over a wide Na content range x = 0.25-0.34. We find that T, increases with decreasing x but reaches a plateau for x <= 0.28. In the sample with x similar to 0.26, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a T-3 variation below T-c and down h, to T similar to T-c/6, which unambiguously indicates the presence of line nodes in the superconducting (SC) gap function. However, for larger or smaller x, 1/T-1 deviates from the T-3 variation below T similar to 2 K even though the T-c (similar to 4.7 K) is similar, which suggests an unusual evolution of the SC state. In the normal state, the spin correlations at a finite wavevector become stronger upon decreasing x, and the density of states at the Fermi level increases with decreasing x, which can be understood in terms of a single-orbital picture suggested on the basis of LDA calculation.

We report the novel phase diagram of superconductivity (SC) and anti ferromagnetism (AFM) in heavy-fermion (HF) pressure(P)-induced superconductors CeRhIn5 and CeIn5 through nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements under P. The P-induced superconductivity in CeRhIn5 coexists with AFM on a microscopic level in P = 1.5-1.9 GPa. By contrast, in CeIn3, the P-induced phase separation of AFM and paramagnetism (PM) takes place without any trace of a quantum phase transition. The outstanding finding is that SC sets in at both the phases magnetically separated into AFM and PM in P=2.28-2.5 GPa. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We have carried out nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements in the filled skutterudite compounds Pr(Os1-x,Ru,)(4)Sb-12 (x = 0. 1, 0.2), in order to gain insights into the symmetry of the superconducting gap function. Upon replacing Os with Ru, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 becomes proportional to temperature (T) at low T far below T-c, and the magnitude of (1/T1T1)(low-T) increases with increasing Ru content. These results indicate that a finite density of states is induced at the Fermi level by the impurity, and thus suggest that there exist nodes in the gap function of PrOs4Sb12.

Novel phase transition near the quantum critical point in the filled-skutterudite compound CeOs4Sb12: An Sb-NQR study

We report on a novel phase transition at T = 0.9 K in the Ce-based filled-skutterudite compound CeOs4Sb12 via measurements of the nuclear-spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectrum of Sb nuclei. The temperature (T) dependence of]IT, behaves as if approaching closely an antiferromagnetic (AFM) quantum critical point (QCP), following the relation 1/T-1 proportional to T/(T - T-N)(1/2) with T-N = 0.06K in the range of T = 1.3-25K. The onset of either the spin-density-wave (SDW) or charge-density-wave (CDW) order at To = 0.9 K, that is, of the first order, is evidenced by a broadening of the NQR spectrum and a marked reduction in 1/T-1 just below T-0. The f-electron-derived correlated band realized in CeOs4Sb12 is demonstrated to give rise to the novel phase transition on the verge of AFM QCP.

Superconductivity of the ternary boride Li2Pd3B probed by B-11 NMR

M Nishiyama, Y Inada, GQ Zheng

PHYSICAL REVIEW B 71 ( 22 ) 2005年6月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC

We report a B-11 NMR measurement on the recently discovered superconductor Li2Pd3B. The nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a well-defined coherence peak just below T-c(H=1.46 T)=5.7 K, and the spin susceptibility measured by the Knight shift also decreases below T-c. These results indicate that the superconductivity is of conventional nature, with an isotropic gap. Our results also suggest that the p-electrons of boron and the d-electrons of palladium that hybridize with boron p-electrons are primarily responsible for the superconductivity.

We report on a systematic evolution of the superconducting (SC) characteristics of CeCoIn5 via nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurement under pressure (P). The application of P significantly suppresses the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 that is dominated by antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SFs). The marked suppression of AFM SFs leads to the reduction in the size of SC energy gap. Nevertheless, T-c increases with the pressure due to the increase in HF bandwidth. This is expected to make the lifetime of quasi-particles sufficiently long. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report the discovery of novel phases in CeIn3 on the verge of antiferromagnetism (AFM) through the In-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements. We have found that even though a pressure (P)-induced phase separation into AFM and paramagnetism (PM) takes place, a novel superconductivity (SC), which is induced without strong spin fluctuations, has been found to coexist with AFM on a microscopic level. We propose that the magnetic excitations such as spin-density fluctuations induced by the first-order magnetic phase transition might mediate attractive interaction to form Cooper pairs.

We report on the pressure-induced novel phases of ferromagnetism and superconductivity (SC) in the itinerant ferromagnet UGe2 via the Ge-73-NQR measurements under pressure (P). The NQR spectrum has revealed that the ferromagnetic phases are separated into weakly and strongly polarized phases around a critical value of P-c(*) similar to 1.2 GPa, pointing to a first-order transition around P-c(*). Here we present further evidence for the phase separation into ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases around a critical pressure P-c similar to 1.6GPa. The measurements of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 have probed that SC sets only in the ferromagnetic phase at T-sc similar to 0.2 K, but it does not in the paramagnetic phase.

We report on the pressure (P) versus temperature (T) phase diagram of the P-induced heavy fermion (HF) superconductor CeRhIn5 via nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements under P. At P = 2.1 GPa, the T dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 revealed antiferromagnetic critical fluctuations due to the closeness of antiferromagnetism. As P decreases slightly down to 1.9 GPa, a pseudogap emerges above T-c similar to 2 K, suggesting the appearance of superconducting fluctuations associated with a strong coupling effect among quasiparticles.

Critical point and the nature of the pseudogap of single-layered copper-oxide Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+delta superconductors

PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 94 ( 4 ) 2005年2月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：AMER PHYSICAL SOC

We apply strong magnetic fields of H=28.5 to 43 T to suppress superconductivity (SC) in the cuprates Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+delta (x=0.65, 0.40, 0.25, 0.15, and 0), and investigate the low temperature (T) normal state by Cu-63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) measurements. We find that the pseudogap (PG) phase persists deep inside the overdoped region but terminates at xsimilar to0.05, which corresponds to the hole doping concentration of approximately 0.21. Beyond this critical point, the normal state is a Fermi liquid that persists as the ground state when superconductivity is removed by the magnetic field. A comparison of the superconducting state with the H-induced normal state in the x=0.40 (T-c=32 K) sample indicates that there remains substantial part of the Fermi surface even in the fully developed PG state, which suggests that the PG and SC are coexisting matters.

We report the systematic evolution of the superconducting (SC) characteristics of the heavy-fermion (HF) superconductor CeCoIn5 via nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurement under pressure (P). The application of P significantly suppresses the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 that is dominated by antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SFs) specific to a quantum critical point (QCP). It is demonstrated that the marked suppression of AFM SFs leads to a reduction in the SC energy gap or in the coupling strength of the Cooper pair. T-c,T- nevertheless, increases with increasing P due to the increase in HF bandwidth. This is expected to make the lifetime of quasi-particles sufficiently long.

We report a coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in five-layered compound HgBa2Ca4Cu5Oy (Hg-1245) with T-c = 108 K, which is composed of two types of CuO2 planes in a unit cell, three inner planes (IP) and two outer planes (OP). The Cu-NMR study has revealed that the OP undergoes a superconducting (SC) transition at T-c = 108 K, whereas three underdoped IPs do an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition below T-N similar to 60 K with the Cu moments of similar to 0.3-0.4 mu(B). The metallic behavior observed at the IP well below T-N points to a possibility that SC and AF order parameters coexist in a single CuO2 plane. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We report the discovery of new superconducting and novel magnetic phases in CeIn3 on the verge of antiferromagnetism (AFM) under pressure (P) through the In-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements. We have found a P-induced phase separation of AFM and paramagnetism (PM) without any trace of a quantum phase transition in CeIn3. A new type of superconductivity (SC) was found, under P = 2.28-2.5 GPa, to coexist with AFM. It is magnetically separated from PM where the heavy fermion SC takes place. We propose that the magnetic excitations such as spin-density fluctuations induced by the first-order magnetic phase transition might mediate attractive interaction to form Cooper pairs.

We present a systematic In-115 NQR study on the heavy-fermion compounds CeRh1-xIrxIn5 (x=0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, and 0.75). The results provide strong evidence for the microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) order and superconductivity (SC) in the range of 0.35less than or equal toxless than or equal to0.55. Specifically, for x=0.5, T-N is observed at 3 K with a subsequent onset of superconductivity at T-c=0.9 K. T-c reaches a maximum (0.94 K) at x=0.45 where T-N is found to be the highest (4.0 K). Detailed analysis of the measured spectra indicate that the same electrons participate in both SC and AF order. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 shows a broad peak at T-N and follows a T-3 variation below T-c, the latter property indicating unconventional SC as in CeIrIn5 (T-c=0.4 K). We further find that, in the coexistence region, the T-3 dependence of 1/T-1 is replaced by a T-linear variation below Tsimilar to0.4 K, with the value (T-1)(Tc)/(T-1)(low T) increasing with decreasing x, likely due to low-lying magnetic excitations associated with the coexisting magnetism.

We present a systematic 115In NQR study on the heavy-fermion compounds CeRh1-xIrxIn5 (x=0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, and 0.75). The results provide strong evidence for the microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) order and superconductivity (SC) in the range of 0.35≤x≤0.55. Specifically, for x=0.5, TN is observed at 3 K with a subsequent onset of superconductivity at Tc=0.9 K. Tc reaches a maximum (0.94 K) at x=0.45 where TN is found to be the highest (4.0 K). Detailed analysis of the measured spectra indicate that the same electrons participate in both SC and AF order. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 shows a broad peak at TN and follows a T3 variation below Tc, the latter property indicating unconventional SC as in CeIrIn5 (Tc=0.4 K). We further find that, in the coexistence region, the T3 dependence of 1/T1 is replaced by a T-linear variation below T ∼0.4 K, with the value (T1)Tc/(T1)low T increasing with decreasing x, likely due to low-lying magnetic excitations associated with the coexisting magnetism.

Macroscopically inhomogeneous state at the boundary between the superconducting, antiferromagnetic, and metallic phases in quasi-one-dimensional (TMTSF)(2)PF6

We report on experimental studies of the phase state and the character of phase transitions in the quasi-one-dimensional organic compound (TMTSF)(2)PF6 in the close vicinity of the borders between the metal (M), antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator, and superconducting (SC) states. In order to drive the system precisely through the phase border P-0(T-0), the sample was maintained at fixed temperature T and pressure P, whereas the critical pressure P-0 was tuned by applying the magnetic field B. In this approach, the magnetic field was used (i) for smooth and precise tuning deltaP=P-P-0 [thanks to a monotonic P-0(B) dependence] and (ii) for identifying the phase composition (due to qualitatively different magnetoresistance behavior in different phases). Experimentally, we measured magnetoresistance R(B) and its temperature dependence R(B,T) in the pressure range 0-1 GPa. Our studies focus on the features of the magnetoresistance at the phase transitions between the M and AF phases and in the close vicinity to the superconducting transition at Tapproximate to1 K. We found pronounced history effects arising when the AF/M phase border is crossed by sweeping the magnetic field: the resistance depends on a trajectory which the system arrives at a given point of the P-B-T phase space. In the transition from the M to AF phase, driven by increasing magnetic field, the features of the M phase extend well into the AF phase. At the opposite transition from the AF to M phase, the features of the AF phase are observed in the M phase. These results evidence for a macroscopically inhomogeneous state, which contains macroscopic inclusions of the minority phase, spatially separated from the majority phase. When the system is driven away from the transition, the homogeneous state is restored; upon a return motion to the phase boundary, no signatures of the minority phase are observed up to the phase boundary.

Exotic superconductivity in the coexistent phase of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)(2): A Cu-NQR study under hydrostatic pressure

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：PHYSICAL SOC JAPAN

We report a pressure (P) effect on CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)(2) where an antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at T-N similar to 0.75 K coexists with superconductivity below T-c similar to 0.4 K. At pressures exceeding P = 0.19 GPa, the AFM order is suppressed, which demonstrates that the sudden emergence of AFM order due to the Ge doping is ascribed to the intrinsic lattice expansion. The exotic superconductivity at P = 0 GPa is found to evolve into a typical heavy-fermion one with a line-node gap above P = 0.91 GPa. We highlight that the anomalous enhancement in nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1, that follows a T1T = const. behavior well below T-c at P = 0 GPa is characterized by the persistence of low-lying magnetic excitations, which may be inherent to the coexistent state of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity.

We report a careful Co-59 nuclear quadrupolar resonance measurement on the recently discovered cobalt oxyhydrate Na0.35CoO2.yH(2)O superconductor from T=40 K down to 0.2 K. We find that in the normal state the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 follows a Curie-Weiss type temperature (T) variation, 1/T1T=C/(T-theta), with theta=-42 K, suggesting two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin correlations. Below T-c=3.9 K, 1/T-1 decreases with no coherence peak and follows a T-n dependence with nsimilar or equal to2.2 down to similar to2.0 K but crosses over to a 1/T(1)proportional toT variation below T=1.4 K, which suggests non-s-wave superconductivity. The data in the superconducting state are most consistent with the existence of line nodes in the gap function.

We report In-NQR and Co-NMR experiments of CeCoIn5 that undergoes a superconducting transition with a record high T-c = 2.3 K to date among heavy-fermion superconductors. At zero magnetic field, an anomalous temperature (T) dependence of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 of In-115 is explained by the relation 1/T-1 proportional to T (.) chi(Q)(T)(3/4) based on the anisotropic spin-fluctuations model in case of the proximity to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) quantum critical point (QCP). The novel behavior of 1/T-1 similar to T-1/4 over a wide T range of T-c < T < 40 K arises because the staggered susceptibility almost follows the Curie law chi(Q)(T) proportional to 1/(T + theta) with theta = 0.6 K and hence 1/T-1 proportional to T/(T + 0.6)(3/4) similar to T-1/4 for theta < T. We highlight that the behavior 1/T-1 similar to T-1/4 is due to the proximity to the anisotropic AFM QCP relevant with. its layered structure, and is not associated with the AFM QCP for isotropic 3D systems. We have also found that the AFM spin fluctuations in CeCoIn5 are suppressed by small magnetic field so that theta = 0.6 K at H = 0 increases to theta = 2.5 K at H = 1.1 T, reinforcing that CeCoIn5 is closely located at the QCP.

We a describe a measurement of the spin Knight shift (K-s) around the middle point between two vortices as a function of magnetic field (H) up to 28 T in a high-T-c superconductor TlSr2CaCu2O6.8. At low temperatures, K-s increases substantially with increasing field, which indicates that the quasiparticle states with an ungapped Spectrum are extended outside the vortex cores in a d-wave superconductor. The density of such states is found to be similar to0.7N(0root)/H/H-c2, with N-0 being the normal-state density of states and H,2 being the upper critical field.

We report Ge-73 nuclear magnetic resonance/nuclear quadrupole resonance (NMR/NQR) measurements on the itinerant ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2 at ambient pressure (P = 0) and P = 1.3 GPa. Measurements of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T-1 of the Ge-73 NMR at P = 0 have revealed a T1T = constant behaviour well below T-Curie = 52 K, evidencing the presence of a non-zero density of states at the Fermi level for the up-and down-spin bands in the ferromagnetic state. At P = 1.3 GPa, where the ferromagnetic transition is reduced to T-Curie = 26 K, the dependence on temperature (T) of NQR 1/T-1 at zero field has demonstrated the onset of the superconducting transition at T, = 0.55 K. The lack of a coherence peak in (1/T-1) just below T,, followed by a T-3-like behaviour, provide compelling evidence for the unconventional nature of the superconducting state that coexists with the ferromagnetic state on a microscopic scale in UGe2.

We have studied the chemical-pressure effect on the Neel temperature (T-N) due to the substitution of Ir for Rh in the layered heavy fermion compound CeRhIn5 by nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) technique. We find that T-N increases slightly upon replacing Ir for Rh up to the Ir content of 0.45. This feature resembles that in hydrostatically pressurized CeRhIn5 below 1.0 GPa where T-N shows a similar dependence against pressure. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

We report the electronic and superconducting properties in the Pr-based filled-skutterudite superconductor PrRu4Sb12 with T-c=1.3 K via the measurements of nuclear-quadrupole-resonance frequency nu(Q) and nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation time T-1 of Sb nuclei. The temperature dependence of nu(Q) has revealed the energy scheme of Pr3+ crystal electric field that is consistent with an energy separation Delta(CEF)similar to70 K between the ground state and the first-excited state. In the normal state, the Korringa relation of (1/T1T)(Pr)=const is valid, with [(1/T1T)(Pr)/(1/T1T)(La)](1/2)similar to1.44, where (1/T1T)(La) is for LaRu4Sb12. These results are understood in terms of a conventional Fermi-liquid picture in which the Pr-4f(2) state derives neither magnetic nor quadrupolar degrees of freedom at low temperatures. In the superconducting state, 1/T-1 shows a distinct coherence peak just below T-c, followed by an exponential decrease with a value of 2Delta/k(B)T(c)=3.1. These results demonstrate that PrRu4Sb12 is a typical weak-coupling s-wave superconductor, in strong contrast with the heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs4Sb12 that is in an unconventional strong coupling regime. The present study on PrRu4Sb12 highlights that the Pr-4f(2)-derived nonmagnetic doublet plays a key role in the unconventional electronic and superconducting properties in PrOs4Sb12.

We have studied the ground state of the overdoped single-layered cuprate superconductor Bi2.1Sr1.9CuO6+delta (T-c = 8 K) by applying a strong magnetic field of 15.3 T to suppress superconductivity. In the normal state down to T = 1.6 K induced by the field Cu-63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) is found to obey a T1T = const. relation, indicating that the ground state in the overdoped regime is a Fermi liquid state. Our result is at variance with a recent study by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) that finds a pseudogap in a similar sample. The implication on the phase diagram is discussed.

We report nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the low-doped n-type copper-oxide Pr0.91LaCe0.09CuO4-y (T-c=24 K) in the superconducting state and in the normal state uncovered by the application of a strong magnetic field. We find that when the superconductivity is removed the underlying ground state is the Fermi liquid state. This result is at variance with that inferred from previous thermal conductivity measurement and appears to contrast with that in p-type copper oxides with a similar doping level where high-T-c superconductivity sets in within the pseudogap phase. The data in the superconducting state are consistent with the line-node gap model.

The In-115 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) measurements are reported for the heavy fermion (HF) compounds Ce(Ir,Rh)In-5 along with their La analogs La(Ir,Rh)In-5. 1/T-1 for Ce(Ir,Rh)In-5 is enhanced by one order of magnitude over that in La(Ir,Rh)In-5, indicating strong magnetic fluctuations in these compounds. It is evidenced that CeIrIn5 is located near a quantum critical point, with quasi-2D spin fluctuations. Also in CeIrIn5, 1/T-1 follows a T-3 variation below T-c = 0.40 K, indicating unconventional superconductivity with line-node gap. These aspects are reminiscent of the high-T-c copper oxides and suggest the importance of the magnetic fluctuations for the occurrence of the unconventional superconductivity in these HF compounds.

We report a study on the interplay between antiferromagnetism (AFM) and superconductivity (SC) in a heavy-fermion compound CeRhIn5 under pressure P=1.75 GPa. The onset of the magnetic order is evidenced from a clear split of In-115 nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrum due to the spontaneous internal field below the Neel temperature T-N=2.5 K. Simultaneously, bulk SC below T-c=2.0 K is demonstrated by the observation of the Meissner diamagnetism signal whose size is the same as in the exclusively superconducting phase. These results indicate that the AFM coexists homogeneously with the SC at a microscopic level.

Evidence for unconventional strong-coupling superconductivity in PrOs4Sb12: An Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance study

We report Sb-NQR results which evidence a heavy-fermion (HF) behavior and an unconventional superconducting (SC) property in PrOs4Sb12 with T-c=1.85 K. The temperature (T) dependence of nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation rate, 1/T-1, and NQR frequency unravel a low-lying crystal-electric-field splitting below T(0)similar to10 K, associated with Pr3+(4f(2))-derived ground state. In the SC state, 1/T-1 shows neither a coherence peak just below T-c K nor a T-3-like power-law behavior observed for anisotropic HF superconductors with the line-node gap. The isotropic energy gap with its size Delta/k(B)=4.8 K seems to open up across T-c below T(*)similar to2.3 K. It is surprising that PrOs4Sb12 looks like an isotropic HF superconductor-it may indeed argue for Cooper pairing via quadrupolar fluctuations.

Phase transitions occuring in a quasi-one-dimensional organic compound (TMTSF)(2)PF6 near the boundaries between the paramagnetic metallic (PM), antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI), and superconducting (SC) states were studied experimentally. A controlled transition through the phase boundary was achieved by maintaining the sample at fixed temperature T and pressure P, while the critical pressure was tuned by varying a magnetic field B. When the PM/AFI phase boundary was crossed due to the variation of a magnetic field, history effects were observed: the resistance was found to depend on the trajectory described by the system before arriving at a given point (P-B-T) of the phase space. The results of the experiment give evidence for the formation of a macroscopically inhomogeneous state characterized by the inclusions of a minor phase that is spatially separated from the major phase. Away from the phase boundary, the homogeneous state is restored. After this, upon approaching the phase boundary in the back direction, the system exhibits no features of the minor phase up to the very boundary. (C) 2003 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".

We report systematic measurements of ac susceptibility, nuclear-quadrupole-resonance spectrum, and nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation time ([Formula presented]) on the pressure ([Formula presented])-induced heavy-fermion superconductor [Formula presented]. The temperature ([Formula presented]) dependence of [Formula presented] at [Formula presented] has revealed that antiferromagnetism (AFM) and superconductivity (SC) coexist microscopically, exhibiting the respective transition at [Formula presented] and [Formula presented]. It is demonstrated that SC does not yield any trace of gap opening in low-lying excitations below [Formula presented], but [Formula presented], followed by a [Formula presented] law. These results point to the unconventional characteristics of SC coexisting with AFM. We highlight that both of the results deserve theoretical work on the gapless nature in the low-lying excitation spectrum due to the coexistence of AFM and SC and the lack of the mean-field regime below [Formula presented]. © 2003 The American Physical Society.

Both measurements of T1 and ac-x have pointed to a superconducting transition at Tc=95 mK, which is much lower than the onset temperature Tonset=0.15 K at zero resistance. The temperature dependence of 1/T1 shows no coherence peak just below Tc, indicative of an unconventional nature for the superconductivity induced in CeIn3.

We report the novel pressure (P)-temperature (T) phase diagrams of antiferromagnetism (AFM) and superconductivity (SC) in CeRhIn5, CeIn3, and CeCu2Si2 revealed by the nuclear quadrupole resonance measurement. In the itinerant helical magnet CeRhIn5, we found that the Neel temperature T-N is reduced at P greater than or equal to 1.23 GPa with an emergent pseudogap behavior. The coexistence of AFM and SC is found in a narrow P range of 1.63-1.75 GPa, followed by the onset of SC with line-node gap over a wide P window 2.1-5 GPa. In CeIn3, the localized magnetic character is robust against the application of pressure up to P similar to 1.9 GPa, beyond which the system evolves into an itinerant regime in which the resistive superconducting phase emerges. We discuss the relationship between the phase diagram and the magnetic fluctuations. In CeCu2Si2, the SC and AFM coexist on a microscopic level once its lattice parameter is expanded. We remark that the underlying marginal AFM state is due to collective magnetic excitations in the superconducting state in CeCu2Si2. An interplay between AFM and SC is discussed on the SO(5) scenario that unifies AFM and SC. We suggest that the SC and AFM in CeCu2Si2 have a common mechanism. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The results are accounted for by the d-wave pairing model where the presence of the residual density of the states Nres(EF) is incorporated at the Fermi level to be consistent with the experiments. The important finding is that the size [in Nres (EF)] is much smaller for the present compounds of Tl-1223 with Tc &gt
130 K than for the previous Tl-2223. Correspondingly, it is shown that an NMR intensity at a satellite peak in the Tl-NMR spectrum, which originates from a possible substitution of Tl for Ca, is much smaller for the former than for the latter. The synthesis technique at a high pressure is found to be a good way to remove such a crystal imperfection due to Tl/Ca intersubstitution. We have demonstrated from a microscopic point of view that as a result of decreasing the degree of disorder effect, the Tc in Tl-1223 has revealed a value higher than 130 K.

We report a pressure effect on CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)(2) where an anti ferromagnetic order below T-N similar to 0.75 K coexists with superconductivity below T-c similar to0.4 K. At pressures exceeding 0.56 GPa, the magnetic order is suppressed and concomitantly the unconventional superconducting state evolves into a typical heavy-fermion one with a line-node gap. This result demonstrates that the magnetic order is due to the lattice expansion caused by doping Ge. We remark that the characteristic feature of exotic coexisting state at ambient pressure is the persistence of low-lying magnetic excitations even in the superconducting state.

We report 115In nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements of the pressure(P)-induced superconductor CeRhIn5 in the antiferromagnetic (AF) and superconducting (SC) states. In the AF region, the internal field at the In site is substantially reduced from 1.75 kOe at P = 0 to 0.39 kOe at P = 1.23 GPa, while TN slightly changes with increasing P. This suggests that either the size or the direction of the ordered moment changes as P increases. In the SC state at P = 2.1 GPa, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate has revealed a T3 dependence without the coherence peak just below Tc, giving evidence for the unconventional superconductivity. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

In the AF region, the internal held at the In site is substantially reduced from 1.75 kOe at P = 0 to 0.39 kOe at P = 1.23 GPa, while T-N slightly changes with increasing P. This suggests that either the size or the direction of the ordered moment changes as P increases. In the SC state at P = 2.1 GPa, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate has revealed a T-3 dependence without the coherence peak just below T-c, giving evidence for the unconventional superconductivity.

We report the spin Knight shift (K-s) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) in the vortex state as a function of magnetic field (H) up to 28 T in the high-T-c superconductor TlSr2CaCu2O6.8 (T-c = 68 K). At low temperatures well below T-c, both K-s and 1/T-1 measured around the middle point between the two nearest vortices (saddle point) increase substantially with increasing field, which indicate that the quasiparticle states with an ungapped spectrum are extended outside the vortex cores in a d-wave superconductor. The density of states (DOS) around the saddle point is found to be similar tokappaN(o)rootH/H-c2, with kappa = 0.5-0.7 and N-o being the normal-state DOS.

We report the pressure (P)-temperature (T) phase diagram of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in CeRhIn5 and CeIn3 revealed by the 115In nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation (T1) measurement. In the itinerant magnet CeRhIn5, we found that the Néel temperature TN is reduced at P ≥ 1.23 GPa with an emergent pseudogap behavior. In CeIn3, the localized magnetic character is robust against the application of pressure up to P ∼ 1.9 GPa, beyond which the system evolves into an itinerant regime in which the resistive superconducting phase emerges. We discuss the relationship between the phase diagram and the magnetic fluctuations.

We report magnetic field (H) effect on the unconventional magnetism. in LiNiO9 that conSists of a spin-1/2 triangular (TM) lattice through the tLi nuclear spin lattice relaxation (1/T-1) and NMR intensity measurements. Instead of a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state expected from. the FM-Weiss constant, a marginal ordered state emerges below T-M -> 20 K, evidenced from the wipe-out effect of Li-7-NMR signal and the divergent behavior of 1/T-1 towards T-M. The existence of the strong antiferromagnetic (.,NIF) interaction along with the FM one is concluded to lead to a magnetically frustrated state at low temperatures and its AF exchange constant J(AF) is estimated to be about 20 K. This marginal ordered, state due to the frustration of the antiferro-orbital order is found to he suppressed by applying H exceeding 10 T, revealing an orbital exchange constant J(0) similar to -10 K. In the paramagnetic regime at high temperatures, the system behaves like an assembly of local moments with an exchange frequency omega(ex) similar to 11 K. consistent with the energy scale of vertical bar J(0)vertical bar similar to 10 K. The present experiments have revealed that vertical bar J(0)vertical bar similar to 10 K is lower than spin exchange constants J(FM) similar to 30 K vertical bar J(AF)vertical bar similar to 20 K.

LaNiO3 is a transition-metal oxide with Perovskite crystal structure where Ni is in the low spin state of r(2g)(6)e(g)(1),. It is a metal and shows enhanced susceptibility x with a strong temperature (T) dependence at low T. We have carried out a La-139 NMR study in the polycrystal sample in the temperature range between 1,4 K and 300 K. We find that the uniform spin susceptibility is T-independent which suggests that the low-T upturn in x is an extrinsic property of the metallic state. The results of the Knight shift and the nuclear spin relaxation rate indicate that the spin susceptibility is almost wave-vector (q) independent, implying that the electron correlation is " dominantly due to a band narrowing, MASS enhancement, effect near a metal-insulator transition, rather than to a ferromagnetic interaction peaked at q=0,

We report the 'In nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) measurements down to 90 mK in the new heavy fermion (HF) compound CeIrIn5. At 0.4 K <= T <= 100 K, 1/T-1 is strongly T-dependent, which indicates that the 4f electrons are much more itinerant than in known Ce-based HFs. From the unique temperature variation of 1/T1T, we find that this compound is located near a quantum critical point, with anisotropic spin fluctuations due to a layered crystal structure, Below the hulk superconductivity temperature 0.40 K, 1/T-1, follows a T-3 variation without a coherence peak, which indicates unconventional superconductivity with line-node gap. These aspects are reminiscent of the high-T-c copper oxides and suggest the importance of the magnetic fluctuations for the occurrence of the unconventional superconductivity

We report (formula presented) and (formula presented) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on trilayered high-(formula presented) compounds (formula presented) (Tl-1223) that were synthesized at a high pressure and exhibits a high value of superconducting (SC) transition temperature (formula presented) In the SC state, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (formula presented) reveals a (formula presented) behavior below (formula presented) followed by a (formula presented) behavior at very low temperatures. The results are accounted for by the d-wave pairing model where the presence of the residual density of the states (formula presented) is incorporated at the Fermi level to be consistent with the experiments. The important finding is that the size [in (formula presented) is much smaller for the present compounds of Tl-1223 with (formula presented) than for the previous Tl-2223. Correspondingly, it is shown that an NMR intensity at a satellite peak in the Tl-NMR spectrum, which originates from a possible substitution of Tl for Ca, is much smaller for the former than for the latter. The synthesis technique at a high pressure is found to be a good way to remove such a crystal imperfection due to Tl/Ca intersubstitution. We have demonstrated from a microscopic point of view that as a result of decreasing the degree of disorder effect, the (formula presented) in Tl-1223 has revealed a value higher than 130 K. © 2002 The American Physical Society.

By contrast, the PG in the underdoped YBa2Cu4O8 does not depend on magnetic fields up to 28.5 T. These results imply that there exists a field-insensitive PG up to a certain doping level beyond which it is taken over by the superconducting fluctuations-induced one. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

We report unusual magnetic and superconducting (SC) characteristics in multilayered CuO2 planes in Hg- and Cu-based high-Tc cuprates through the 63Cu-NMR measurements. These compounds, in which the number of CuO2 planes (n) ranges from 3 to 5 in a unit cell, include crystallographically inequivalent outer (OP) and inner (IP) CuO2 plane that are surrounded by pyramidal and square oxygen, respectively. The Knight shift (63K) at the OP and IP exhibits respective characteristic temperature dependence, consistent with its own doping level. Using an experimental relation between the spin part in 63K at room temperature and the doping level in a CuO2 layer Nh, we show that Nh(OP) at the OP is larger than Nh(IP) at the IP for all the systems and its difference ΔNh=Nh(OP)-Nh(IP) increases as either a total carrier content σ or n increases. At ΔNh's exceeding a critical value, the pseudogap behavior in the normal state is seen alone at the IP, and a bulk SC transition does not set in simultaneously at the IP and OP. A SC nature at the OP becomes consistent with a mean-field behavior only below Tc2 that is significantly lower than Tc. Reduction in Tc with increasing n is associated with an increase in ΔNh. It is a rather remarkable aspect that a Tc is not always reduced even though these multilayered high-Tc compounds are heavily overdoped. This arises, we show, because the IP remains underdoped and keeps a high value of Tc, while the OP is predominantly overdoped. This may be a microscopic origin for the lowest anisotropic SC characteristics reported to date in Cu-based multilayered high-Tc compounds.

Pressure-induced anomalous magnetism and unconventional superconductivity in CeRhIn5: In-115-NQR study under pressure

We report In-115 nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements of the pressure(P)-induced superconductor CeRhIn5 in the antiferromagnetic (AF) and superconducting (SC) states. In the AF region, the internal field H-int at the In site is substantially reduced from H-int= 1.75 kOe at P=0 to 0.39 kOe at P=1.23 GPa, while the Neel temperature slightly changes with increasing P. This suggests that either the size in the ordered moment M-Q(P) or the angle theta(P) between the direction of M-Q(P) and the tetragonal c axis is extrapolated to zero at P*=1.6+/-0.1 GPa at which a bulk SC transition is no longer emergent. In the SC state at P=2.1 GPa, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (115)(1/T-1) has revealed a T-3 dependence without the coherence peak just below T-c, giving evidence for the unconventional superconductivity. The dimensionality of the magnetic fluctuations in the normal state is also discussed.

The perovskites of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 (LCMO) and La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The two perovskites were mixed into polycrystalline materials, (1 - m)LCMO + mLSMO, where m is the relative weight ratio of LSMO. The compound with m similar to 0.3-0.5 has the lowest semiconductor-metal transition temperature T-p and the largest low-T resistivity. Moving away from this ratio, T-p increases while the low-T resistivity decreases with increasing or decreasing m. Measurements of the magnetoresistance (MR) show that the mixed polycrystals exhibit a sizable MR effect in low magnetic fields which increases upon cooling and reaches its largest value for T --> 0 K. It is also interesting to observe the almost T-independent MR effect over a wide temperature window below 300 K for the mixed materials with smaller m.

We report Cu-NQR results under pressure on heavy-fermion (HF) superconductor CeCu2Si2 close to a magnetic phase, Ce0.99Cu2.02Si2 and CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)(2). It is found that an application of a minute pressure exceeding 0.3 GPa markedly suppresses low-energy magnetic fluctuations observed at ambient pressure (P = 0) in Ce0.99CU2.02Si2, Correspondingly, anomalous superconducting (SC) characteristics evolve into conventional HF-SC ones with increasing pressure. In the latter. the Ge substitution works as a negative chemical pressure. CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)(2) reveals a magnetic phase transition at T-N = 0.75 K followed by the SC phase transition at T-c similar to 0.4 K at P = 0. It is suggested experimentally that the magnetic fluctuations seen in Ce0.99Cu2.02Si2 at P = 0 possesses a quantum critical character of both SC and magnetically ordered states.

Unique spin dynamics and unconventional superconductivity in the layered heavy fermion compound CeIrIn5: NQR evidence

We report measurements of the In-115 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) between T = 0.09 and 100 K in the new heavy fermion (HF) compound CeIrIn5. Ar 0.4 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 100 K, 1/T-1 is strongly T-dependent, which indicates that CeIrIn5 is much more itinerant than known Ce-based HFs. We find that I/T1T, subtracting that for LaIrIn5, follows a (1 / tau + theta)(3/4) variation with theta = 8 K. We argue that this novel feature points to anisotropic, due to a layered crystal structure, spin fluctuations near a magnetic ordering. The hulk superconductivity sets in at 0.40 K below which the coherence peak is absent and 1/T-1 follows a T-3 variation, which suggests unconventional superconductivity with Line-node gap.

We report Cu nuclear-quadrupole-resonance results under pressure (P) on a homogeneous CeCu2Si2 (T-c = 0.65 K) that revealed critical magnetic fluctuations at the border to an antiferromagnetic (AF) phase. This exotic superconducting (SC) phase evolves into the typical heavy-fermion SC phase at minute pressures exceeding P(c)similar to0.2 GPa. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation data in a P range 0.85 - 2.58 GPa are shown to be accountable by the spin-fluctuation theory based on the nearly AF Ferni-liquid model. In 0 less than or equal toP<P-c<similar to>0.2 GPa, by contrast, we conclude that the exotic SC phase manifests itself under the unconventional normal state where AF waves propagate over a long range without any trace of AF order and thereby the heavy-fermion state breaks up.

From the Cu-63 Knight shift and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate under magnetic fields from zero up to 28 T in the underdoped (U) YBa2Cu4O8 and the slightly overdoped (O) TlSr2CaCu2O6.8 We find that the spin-gap (pseudogap) behaviors show contrasting response to magnetic fields in the U and O compounds. In the O compound. the spin-gap is strongly field dependent and can be accounted for by the superconducting fluctuation effects, but that in the U compound shows no field dependence. The implication is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report Cu-63-Knight shift measurement on multilayered high-T-c cuprate oxides that include inequivalent outer (OP) and inner (IP) CuO2 planes in a unit cell with number of planes n = 3-5. Using an experimental relation between the spin part of Knight shift (K-s) and the carrier concentration (N-h) reported in n = 1 and 2 cuprates, the local carrier concentrations Nh(OP) in the OP and Nh(IP) in the IP have been deduced. We have found that Nh(OP) is larger than Nh(IP) in all the systems. The difference in the doping level increases as total-carrier content delta and n increase. Imbalance between Nh(OP) and Nh(IP) is suggested to be caused by a mechanism that the electrostatic potential associated with the apical oxygen has more attraction for holes in the OP than in the IP. It is also suggested that T-c of Hg 1223 (n = 3) is the highest (T-c = 133 K) to date, due to N-h(IP) optimized to N-h.optimum similar to 0.2 From the fact that N-h(OP)> N-h.optimum, we propose that if Nh(OP) could also be optimized in addition to optimized N-h(IP). T-c might be raised higher than 133 K. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

We report 115In nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements of the pressure(P)-induced superconductor CeRhIn5 in the antiferromagnetic (AF) and superconducting (SC) states. In the AF region, the internal field Hint at the In site is substantially reduced from Hint = 1.75 kOe at P = 0 to 0.39 kOe at P = 1.23 GPa, while the Néel temperature slightly changes with increasing P. This suggests that either the size in the ordered moment MQ(P) or the angle θ(P) between the direction of MQ(P) and the tetragonal c axis is extrapolated to zero at P* = 1.6±0.1 GPa at which a bulk SC transition is no longer- emergent. In the SC state at P =2.1 GPa, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 115(1/T1) has revealed a T3 dependence without the coherence peak just below Tc, giving evidence for the unconventional superconductivity. The dimensionality of the magnetic fluctuations in the normal state is also discussed.

We report Cu nuclear-quadrupole-resonance results under pressure (P) on a homogeneous CeCu2Si2 (Tc=0.65 K) that revealed critical magnetic fluctuations at the border to an antiferromagnetic (AF) phase. This exotic superconducting (SC) phase evolves into the typical heavy-fermion SC phase at minute pressures exceeding Pc∼0.2 GPa. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation data in a P range 0.85 - 2.58 GPa are shown to be accountable by the spin-fluctuation theory based on the nearly AF Fermi-liquid model. In 0≤P< Pc∼0.2 GPa, by contrast, we conclude that the exotic SC phase manifests itself under the unconventional normal state where AF waves propagate over a long range without any trace of AF order and thereby the heavy-fermion state breaks up.

Based on measurements of the (CU)-C-63 Knight shift and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate under magnetic fields up to 28 T, we find that the pseudogap in the slightly overdoped TISr2CaCu2O6.88 (T-c=68 K) is due to Cooper pair density fluctuations. Such fluctuations are also found in the underdoped YBa2Cu4O8 (T-c=74 K), but are small and only survive up to T-sf similar or equal to T-c+15K=90 K, which is much lower than the held-independent pseudogap temperature T* similar or equal to 160 K. The implication on the phase diagram is discussed. At low temperatures in the superconducting state, a field-induced finite density of states was found in both compounds and is interpreted as due to the quasiparticles outside a vortex core in a d-wave superconductor.

From measurements of the Cu-63 Knight shift (K) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-l) under magnetic fields from zero up to 28 T in the slightly overdoped high-T-c. superconductor TlSr2CaCu2O6.8 (T-c = 68 K), we find that the pseudogap behavior, i.e., the reductions of 1/TlT and K above T-c from the values expected from the normal state at high T, is strongly field dependent and follows a scaling relation. We show that this scaling is consistent with the effects of the Cooper pair density fluctuations. The present finding contrasts sharply with the pseudogap property reported previously in the underdoped regime where no field effect was seen up to 23.2 T. The implications are discussed.

The responses to the magnetic field (H) of the superconductivity and the pseudogap in the underdoped high- T-c cuprate YBa2Cu4O8 (T-c = 74 K) are reported up to 23.2 T based on NMR measurements. For temperatures T less than or equal to 15 K, the Hand T-variation of the Cu-63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) is 1/T-1 proportional to TH and also the Knight shift increases with increasing H. We interpret our results as evidence for H-induced quasiparticle states that extend from the d-wave vortex centers with an ungapped spectrum. Even though H = 23.2 T reduces T-c by 19 K, no effect is seen on the normal-state pseudogap which persists in the temperature region where the superconductivity is destroyed by the field, suggesting that it is a consequence of strong electron correlations.

In order to investigate magnetic properties in the vicinity of the magnetic to superconducting (SC) phase boundary, we have performed Cu-NQR measurements under hydrostatic pressure (P) on two off-stoichiometric Ce1+xCu2+ySi2 polycrystals: Ce0.99Cu2.02Si2 (denoted as Ce 0.99) exhibits the anomalous ground state so-called A phase dominated by critical magnetic correlations and Ce0.975Cu2Si2 (Ce 0.975) shows a static magnetic ordering at ambient P. With increasing P which enhances the Kondo temperature, the fraction of the A phase becomes markedly suppressed, and the SC fraction increases correspondingly, although T-c stays nearly constant in the measured pressure range, P less than or equal to 14.4 kbar. This shows that the P-induced transition from the A to the SC phases is of a first-order type, without passing through a quantum (T -->0) phase transition. However, no superconductivity has been attained in Ce 0.975 up to 19.4 kbar. It is considered that the P-induced superconductivity is sensitive to the sample quality.

The responses to the magnetic field (H) of the superconductivity and the pseudogap in the underdoped high-T-c cuprate YBa2Cu4O8 (T-c=74 K) are reported up, to 23.2 T based on NMR measurements. Even though H=23.2 T reduces T-c by 19 K, no effect is seen on the normal-state pseudogap, which continues in the temperature region where the superconductivity is destroyed by the field. This suggests that the pseudogap, is a consequence of strong electron correlation effects. I;br temperatures T less than or equal to 15 It, the H- and T-variation of the Cu-63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) is 1/T-1 proportional to TH and also the Knight shift increases with increasing H. We interpret our results as evidence for H-induced quasiparticle states that extend from the d-wave vortex centers with an ungapped spectrum.

The carrier distribution among the inequivalent CuO2 planes in multilayer cuprates is investigated by Cu-63 Knight shift measurement with varying the carrier concentration, delta and the number of CuO2 plane in a unit cell, n. We Sound that 70 (60)% of total carriers are doped selectively into two outer CuO2 planes in n = 3 (4). This indicates resultantly that the inhomogeneity of carrier distribution increases with increasing delta and n in multilayer cuprates.

The responses to the magnetic field (H) of the pseudogap and the superconductivity in the underdoped high T-c cuprate YBa2Cu4O8 (T-c=74 K) are reported up to 23.2 T based on NMR measurements. Even though 23.2 T reduces T, by 26%, no effect is seen on the normal-state pseudogap, which persists in the temperature range where the superconductivity is destroyed by the field. For temperatures T less than or equal to 15 K, the spin Knight shift increases with increasing H and also the H and T variation of the Cu-63 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T-1) is 1/T-1 proportional to TH. A possible explanation for this finding is offered as due to the H-induced quasiparticle states that extend from the d-wave vortex centers with ungapped spectrum. [S0163-1829(99)50438-4].

We report systematic Cu-NMR study on HgBa2Ca3Cu4O10+y with T-c = 123 K comprising respective 4-fold and 5-fold two CuO2 planes surrounded by square and pyramidal oxygens. Possible structure and temperature dependence of the normal-state pseudogap have been extracted from the steep decrease of the spin contribution in the Knight shift, K-s below T-K*similar to 220K. By assuming the linear increase of a size of pseudogap between T-K* and T-c with the d(x2-y2) symmetry, the T-dependence of K-s/K-n in both 4- and 5-fold is reproduced below T-K*.

We report magnetic properties of the antiferromagnet YMn2 as functions of pressure and temperature (T) obtained from the 55Mn spin-lattice relaxation rate and the Knight shift. An energy-band narrowing due to electron correlation is indicated by the Knight shift measurement and the application of pressure is found to enhance the conduction electron bandwidth. In the pressure-induced paramagnetic state, the system undergoes a crossover from an itinerant spin fluctuation (SF) regime at low T to a local SF regime at high T. It is pointed out that this magnetic crossover of SF resembles that of high-temperature superconductors. © 1999 The American Physical Society.

We report the NQR study on the pressure-induced paramagnetic state in the antiferroinagrietic (AF) intermetal-lic compound YMn2 with the Néel temperature TN=100 K at ambient pressure. Froin the T variation of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, 56(lJT1) of 55Mn above the critical pressure of 4 kbar, the spin fluctuation feature is found to change below a temperature Taf. At higher temperature than Taf, the nuclear relaxation behavior is well described in terms of the self-consistent renomalized (SCR) spin fluctuation theory for nearly AF metals, whereas below Taf a deviation is significant and 1JT1T exhibits a weak T variation. It is pointed out that Taf coincides with the temperature below which a T2 law in electrical resistivity is valid as expected for a Feimi liquid ground state. We proposed that these features are understood from the standpoint that the development of AF spin fluctuation remains in short-range associated with the singlet formation among Mn spins in each tetrahedron as suggested by the inelastic neutron experiments on Y1−xScxMn2. © 1998, The Japan Society of High Pressure Science and Technology.

63Cu spin-lattice relaxation rate has been measured in annealed and as-grown samples of Tl2Ba2Ca2CU3O10. We found for the first time that Tc increases as a result of decrease of the residual density of states at the Fermi level due to the improvement of crystal order by annealing. A 2-dimensional d-wave superconductivity model accounts for the increase of Tc of 8K in terms of the change in potential scattering due to crystal imperfection which is likely caused by Tl-substitution of Ca site.

Measurements of the Knight shift of Cu-63 and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate of Tl-205, (205)(1/T-1), have revealed that TlSr2(Lu0.7Ca0.3)Cu2Oy with T-c = 40 K consisting of the bi-CuO2 layer without the CuO chain is In the underdoped regime with the spin pseudogap, which is evidenced by the significant decrease of (205)(1/T1T) below 120 It far above T-c and the decrease of the Cu-63 spin Knight shift upon cooling. Although the disorder is introduced into the adjacent Ca layers to the CuO2 plane by the substitution of Lu for Ca sites, the spin-gap behavior is presented not to be masked. From this result, it is suggested that the absence of the spin-gap behavior in La2-xSrxCuO4 is neither due to the disorder introduced into the adjacent LaO layers to the CuO2 plane by the substitution of Sr for La sites nor the absence of the CuO chain.

Superconducting properties in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+delta, with a transition temperature of T-c=133 K, have been investigated by measurements of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, (63)(1/T-1). It has been found that the T1T=const behavior, observed well below T-c, arises from combined relaxation channels to vortex cores, as well as from a residual density of states (DOS), N-res, at the Fermi level associated with the gapless superconductivity. From the value of T1T=const in the latter channel, the DOS fraction normalized by its value at T-c, N-res/N-Tc, has been deduced to be as small as similar to 0.05. Based on the two-dimensional gapless d-wave model, the T-c reduction rate, Delta T-c/T-c0, is estimated to be as small as 0.02 for N-res/N-0 similar to 0.05. It is pointed out that these measures of the quality of HaBa(2)Ca(2)Cu(3)O(8+delta) explain why T-c reaches such a high value.

Superconducting properties in (Formula presented), with a transition temperature of (Formula presented) K, have been investigated by measurements of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, (Formula presented). It has been found that the (Formula presented) behavior, observed well below (Formula presented), arises from combined relaxation channels to vortex cores, as well as from a residual density of states (DOS), (Formula presented), at the Fermi level associated with the gapless superconductivity. From the value of (Formula presented) in the latter channel, the DOS fraction normalized by its value at (Formula presented), (Formula presented), has been deduced to be as small as ∼0.05. Based on the two-dimensional gapless (Formula presented)-wave model, the (Formula presented) reduction rate, (Formula presented), is estimated to be as small as 0.02 for (Formula presented). It is pointed out that these measures of the quality of (Formula presented) explain why (Formula presented) reaches such a high value. © 1996 The American Physical Society.

Various types of ground states in strongly correlated electron systems have been systematically investigated by means of NMR/NQR at low temperatures under high magnetic field and pressure. We focus on two well-known heavy-electron families, CeCu2X2 (X = Si and Ge) (Ce(122)) and UM2Al3 (M = Ni and Pd) (U(123)). The Cu NQR experiments on CeCu2X2 under high pressure indicate that the physical property of CeCu2Ge2 at high pressure, i.e. above the transition at 7.6GPa from antiferromagnetic (AF) to superconductivity, are clearly related to that of CeCu2Si2 at ambient pressure. In addition to the H-T phase diagram established below 7 T, NMR and specific heat experiments on polycrystal CeCu2.05Si2 have revealed the presence of a new phase above 7 T. In a high-quality polycrystal of UPd2Al3 with a record high-T-c of 2 K at ambient pressure and the narrowest AI NQR line width, the nuclear-spin lattice relaxation rate, (27)(1/T-1) measured in zero field has been found to obey the T-3 law down to 0.13 K, giving strong evidence that the energy gap vanishes along lines on the Fermi surface. Thus it seems that all heavy-electron superconductors exhibit lines of zero gap, regardless of their different magnetic properties.

The 63Cu and 17O nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates in YBa2Cu4O8 have been measured in the temperature and magnetic field ranges of 1.4-270 K and 4.0-11 T, respectively. In the mixed state, 1/T1 for both 63Cu and 17O are enhanced by the magnetic field. Most strikingly, in a high field of 11 T, 63(1/T1) and 17(1/T1) decrease in proportion to the temperature, T, below T=15 K and T=10 K, respectively. The magnetic-field dependence of 1/T1 is shown to be dominated by spin diffusion to the vortex cores, implying that the electronic state in the cores is characterized by the T1T=const. law. This result indicates that the electronic state in the vortex cores is described in terms of the Fermi-liquid picture, in sharp contrast to the unusual properties above Tc. © 1994.

The Cu-63 Knight shifts have been measured for the heavily doped high-T(c) superconductors TlSr2CaCu2O7-y, with T(c) = 64 and 45 K. The spin part of the shift, K(s), is almost T-independent in the normal state and increases with decreasing T(c). From the analysis of the anisotropy in K(s) in both compounds, the transferred hyperfine field from the nearest-neighbor Cu spins has been deduced to be larger than that in YBa2Cu3O7, similar to the results for Tl2Ba2CuO6+y. A systematic correlation has been found in the heavily doped superconductors that the spin susceptibility and the nuclear quadrupole frequency increase with decreasing T(c), while 1/T1T is suppressed, as reported previously.

Results of our systematic NMR study in high Tc cuprates are reviewed. The antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations (AFSF) decrease in the order of La1.85Sr0.15CuO4. YBa2Cu3O7 and Tl2Ba2CuO6+y. 1/T1 of63Cu in the CuO2 plane in the normal state follows essentially a Curie-Weiss law at high temperature and T1T = const. law at low temperature. The temperature dependence of 1/T1 and the Knight shift together with their impurity effect in the superconducting state strongly suggest d-wave pairing implying the AFSF to be responsible for the occurrence of superconductivity. From the NQR frequency measurement the density of Cu 3d and O 2p holes decreases and increases, respectively, in the order of La, Y and Tl compounds, which is consistent with the change of AFSF. The relation between Tc and vQ, and their pressure dependence suggest that there exists and optimum value of the ratio of Cu 3d and O 2p hole density to give a maximum in Tc. © 1993 J.C.

Recent NQR and NMR experiments on La2-xSrxCuO4, YBa2Cu3O7, Tl2Ba2CuO6+y and other compounds are reviewed. The antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations decrease in the order of La, Y, Tl compounds. In the normal state the T-dependence of (T1T)-1 is considered to follow the Curie-Weiss law at high temperature and the (T1T) = const law at low temperature. The T dependence of 1/T1 below T(c) suggests strongly d-wave pairing. Correlations of the NQR frequency of Cu-63 and O-17 with the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and the superconducting transition temperature are discussed.

Dependence of NQR frequency, nu-Q(Cu) on pressure up to 1.3GPa is reported for La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 and YBa2Cu4O8. Correlations are found between some physical quantities and the ratio of the hole density in Cu2 to that in O2(3), n(Cu2)/n(O2, 3) which is extracted from nu-Q's. It is proposed tha there exists an optimum of n(Cu2)/n(O2, 3) for T(c) and that the increase of T(c) under pressure is due to the approach of n(Cu2)/n(O2, 3) to the optimum through the local hole transfer.

O-17 and Cu-63 NMR measurements have been made in L1.85Sr0.15CuO4 with T(c) = 38 K. Both O-17 Knight shift and quadrupole tensor were determined from the analyses of the O-17 spectrum of oriented powder. The quadrupole frequencies of the planar oxygen and Cu nuclei are consistently interpreted by the analyses of Hanzawa et al. made in YBa2Cu3O7 with the electric field gradients due to the on-site holes at Cu and O sites. Then the weight factor of the Cu-3d(x2 - y2) and 2p-sigma wave functions are deduced, the latter having the larger weight. From the Knight shifts vs the bulk susceptibility plots, the hyperfine coupling constants for O-17 and Cu-63 were almost the same as those in YBa2Cu3O7. Both shifts decrease significantly below T(c) having residual parts of 63K(ab) = 0.38% and 17K(c) = 0.02% at 4.2 K, which were larger than those in YBa2Cu3O7.

A series of measurements on the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, $T_{1}^{-1}$, of 63Cu in superconducting multilayer Nb–Cu has been performed over a temperature range from 4.2 K down to 0.3 K, using the field cycling method. $T_{1}^{-1}$ decreases rapidly after an initial increment just below $T_{\text{c } }$. At low temperatures, however, the rate of the decrease slows down, and $T_{1}^{-1}$ decreases in proportion to temperature. It has been concluded that such behavior of $T_{1}^{-1}$ originates from a distribution of the energy gap of the Cooper pairs in Cu. The electrons which are propagated nearly normal to the S–N interface have a finite energy gap predicted by McMillan, while the electrons propagated nearly parallel to the interface are gapless and behave like normal electrons.
