被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Superconducting (SC) state has spin and orbital degrees of freedom, and spin-triplet superconductivity shows multiple SC phases because of the presence of these degrees of freedom. However, the observation of spin-direction rotation occurring inside the SC state (SC spin rotation) has hardly been reported. Uranium ditelluride, a recently found topological superconductor, exhibits various SC phases under pressure: SC state at ambient pressure (SC1), high-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC2), and low-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC3). We performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ac susceptibility measurements on a single-crystal uranium ditelluride. The b axis spin susceptibility remains unchanged in SC2, unlike in SC1, and decreases below the SC2-SC3 transition with spin modulation. These unique properties in SC3 arise from the coexistence of two SC order parameters. Our NMR results confirm spin-triplet superconductivity with SC spin parallel to b axis in SC2 and unveil the remaining of spin degrees of freedom in SC uranium ditelluride.

被引用回数：5 パーセンタイル：92.42(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Spin susceptibility in the superconducting (SC) state was measured in the higher-quality sample of uranium-based superconductor UTe by using Knight-shift measurements for a magnetic field along all three crystalline axes. In the higher-quality sample, the SC transition temperature is about 2.1 K, and the residual electronic term in the specific heat is almost zero. The NMR linewidth becomes narrower and is almost half of that in the previous sample with 
1.6 K when and

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：93.16(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)UTe is a recently discovered spin-triplet superconductor. One of the characteristic features of UTe is a magnetic field ()-boosted superconductivity above 16 T when H is applied exactly parallel to the 
axis. To date, this superconducting (SC) state has not been thoroughly investigated, and the SC properties as well as the spin state of this high- SC (HHSC) phase are not well understood. In this letter, we performed AC magnetic susceptibility and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and found that, up to 24.8 T, the HHSC state has bulk nature and is quite sensitive to the angle and that its SC character is different from that in the low- SC (LHSC) state. The dominant spin component of the spin-triplet pair is along the axis in the LHSC state but is changed in the HHSC state along the axis. Our results indicate that -induced multiple SC states originate from the remaining spin degrees of freedom.

UTe is a novel uranium-based superconductor with a rather high transition temperature of 
K. The compound attracted particular attention, because of the strong possibility of the spin-triplet Cooper pairing, which is a natural candidate for topological superconductivity in a bulk material. In this study, we performed Te-NMR experiments on a Te enriched single crystal of UTe. The field and temperature dependences of the spin-spin relaxation rate of 
in field applied along the -axis revealed slow electronic dynamics developing in the paramagnetic state. The observed slow fluctuations are concerned with a successive growth of long-range electronic correlations below 30
40 K. We suggest that UTe would be located on the paramagnetic side near an electronic phase boundary, where either the magnetic or Fermi-surface instability would be the origin of the characteristic fluctuations.
