被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report on neutron diffraction, magnetoresistance, magnetization and magnetic torque measurements under high magnetic field in the helical antiferromagnet CeVGe
. This compound exhibits Kondo lattice coherence and helical antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at ambient pressure, similar to the well-studied CeRhIn
. Our measurements reveal that CeVGe
undergoes a magnetic transition from an incommensurate (ICM) AFM state to an up-up-down-down commensurate (CM) AFM structure, followed by a transition to a novel phase at higher fields. A quantum phase transition occurs around 21.3 T. This rich magnetic field phase diagram closely resembles that of CeRhIn
. Furthermore, angle-dependent magnetoresistance measurements reveal that all transitions in CeVGe
occur from the field component along the ab plane. These findings highlight the intricate interplay among exchange interactions, crystal field effects, ground state properties, and crystalline symmetries.

U nuclear spin-lattice (
) and spin-spin (
) relaxation rates in the itinerant antiferromagnet USb
are reported as a function of temperature in zero field. The heating effect from the intense rf pulses that are necessary for the
U NMR results in unusual complex thermal recovery of the nuclear magnetization which does not allow measuring
directly. By implementing an indirect method, however, we successfully extracted
of the
U. We find that the temperature dependence of
for both
U and
Sb follows the power law (
) with the small exponent
= 0.3 suggesting that the same relaxation mechanism dominates the on-site and the ligand nuclei, but an anomaly at 5 K was observed, possibly due to the change in the transferred hyperfine coupling on the Sb site.

Bi nuclear-magnetic-resonance and nuclear-quadrupole-resonance measurements on a single crystal of the Kondo insulator U
Bi
Ni
. The
Bi nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate (
) shows activated behavior and is well fit by a spin gap of 220 K. The
Bi Knight shift (
) exhibits a strong temperature dependence arising from
electrons, in which
is negative at high temperatures and increases as the temperature is lowered. Below 50 K,
shows a broad maximum and decreases slightly upon further cooling. Our data provide insight into the evolution of the hyperfine fields in a fully gapped Kondo insulator based on
electron hybridization.
