ウラン系強磁性超伝導物質UGe, URhGe, UCoGeについて盛んに研究が行われてきた。最近、我々は69個のウラン化合物、7個のネプツニウム化合物、4個のプルトニウム化合物について、スピンゆらぎ理論の適用性を検討した。その結果、アクチノイド5電子の遍歴性を示唆する結果が得られた。会議では全強磁性化合物の解析結果と、UGeのスピンのゆらぎパラーメーターの圧力依存を議論する。

Uranium ferromagnetic superconductors UGe, URhGe and UCoGe have attracted much attention from both theoretical and experimental sides since the same 5 electrons underlie carry both the ferromagnetism and superconductivity. Recently, we have analysed 69 uranium, 7 neptunium, and 4 plutonium ferromagnets with spin fluctuation theory originally developed for researches on itinerant ferromagnets in the 3 transition metals and their intermetallics. The applicability of the spin fluctuation theory to the actinide 5 system has been confirmed and the itinerant character of the 5f electrons is suggested in the actinide ferromagnets. In this conference, two results will be shown. One is the results of the analyses on 80 actinide ferromagnets and the other is the pressure dependence of the spin fluctuation parameters in UGe.
