The superconducting characteristics on the itinerant ferromagnetic superconductor UGe$$_2$$ have been investigated via the $$^{73}$$Ge-NQR measurements under pressure ($$P$$) near the critical pressure $$P_x$$ where the first-order transition takes place from the low-temperature ($$T$$) and low-$$P$$ ferromagnetic phase (FM2) to high-$$T$$ and high-$$P$$ one (FM1). The measurements of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $$T_1$$ have revealed a power-law like behavior as $$T^n$$ without the coherence peak, whereas at low temperatures, it deviates from the $$T^n$$ dependence to a $$T$$-linear like behavior. These results that depend on the pressure are well understood in terms of non-unitary spin-triplet pairing state where the ferromagnetic up-spin band is gapped, but the down-spin band remains gapless at the Fermi level. We will argue an intimate relationship of the onset of SC with FM1 and FM2.
