Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:43.45(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We present a detailed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of
Pu in bulk and powdered single-crystal plutonium tetraboride (PuB
), which has recently been investigated as a potential correlated topological insulator. The
Pu NMR spectra are consistent with axial symmetry of the shift tensor showing for the first time that
Pu NMR can be observed in an anisotropic environment and up to room temperature. The temperature dependence of the
Pu shift, combined with a relatively long spin-lattice relaxation time (
), indicate that PuB
adopts a nonmagnetic state with gaplike behavior consistent with our density functional theory calculations. The temperature dependencies of the NMR Knight shift and
imply bulk gaplike behavior confirming that PuB
is a good candidate topological insulator.

YbV
Sn
has a HfFe
Ge
-type structure, in which V atoms form a Kagome lattice and Yb atoms form a triangular lattice. This rare Yb-based Kondo triangular lattice system has attracted much attention as an essential model to explore the relationship between quantum magnetism and topological properties. To microscopically clarify the quantum criticality of this system, we have performed
V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies using a single crystal of YbV
Sn
. In this talk, I will report on the spectral assignments of
V nuclei revealed from
V NMR measurements in the paramagnetic state.
