単結晶試料YbRhSiの核磁気共鳴(NMR)のスピン-格子緩和時間()の測定によって、量子臨界相転移の近傍の磁気励起を調べ、量子臨界相転移の近くではフェルミと非フェルミ状態の共存状態であることを明らかにした。このようなまだらな電子状態の起源を議論する。

By means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation time () measurements on a single crystal sample YbRhSi, the magnetic excitations around quantum critical phase transition is investigated. It is revealed that the coexisting Fermi and non-Fermi states appears near the quantum critical phase transition. Such a mottled state is considered to have remained hidden in Ce and U heavy fermion compounds, owing presumably to short lifetimes for the two states. The mottled state is highly anisotropic to applied magnetic field, which is consistent with previous studies. The origin of mottled state will be discussed.
