We report on new results of
Be nuclear magnetic resonance measurements conducted on a single crystal of the heavy fermion superconductor UBe
. A comparison between the knight shift and the classical dipolar shift provides microscopic evidence for the nature of an itinerant-localized duality in UBe
. Furthermore, a reconstruction of part of the multiple Fermi surfaces in the high-magnetic-field region is suggested.

O
, a member of the pyroxene family, was studied using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetization and specific heat measurements as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction maps confirm two successive magnetic transitions at 8.8 and 5.8~K, consistent with previous studies. The observed spin-wave excitations emerge from the incommensurate magnetic Bragg peaks corresponding to the propagation vector
, and extend up to energies of about 1.5 meV. In the low-temperature helical phase, the spin dynamics of the Fe
ions is well described by a simple linear spin-wave model. The observed excitations can be modeled using a spin Hamiltonian that includes three primary exchange interactions. Our results show that no single exchange interaction dominates the spin dynamics. The similar strengths of the intrachain and interchain couplings point to the fact that the magnetic interactions in aegirine are three-dimensional, rather than being confined along one direction. As a result, the system cannot be considered quasi-one-dimensional, as previously suggested, and calls for further investigations.

The first-order metamagnetic transition point varies as a function of hydrostatic pressure and terminates at the critical pressure 2.0 GPa. The electronic system, however, does not show criticality at this pressure but extends to higher pressures, unlike the usual quantum critical behavior.

with the ordering temperature 
= 26 K was investigated by resonant X-ray scattering and neutron diffraction on single crystals. This compound possesses a unique crystal structure in which uranium ions form honeycomb layers and then stacks along the c-axis with slight offset, which gives rise to a stacking disorder. The AF order can be described with the propagation vector of q = (1/6, 1/6, 0) in the hexagonal notation. The ordered magnetic moments orient perpendicular to the honeycomb layers, indicating a collinear spin structure consistent with Ising-like anisotropy. The magnetic reflections are found to be broadened along c
indicating that the stacking disorder results in anisotropic correlation lengths. The semiquantitative analysis of neutron diffraction intensity, combined with group theory considerations based on the crystallographic symmetry, suggests a zig-zag type magnetic structure for the AF ground state, in which the AF coupling runs perpendicular to the stacking offset, characterized as q = (1, 0, 0). The realization of the zig-zag magnetic structure implies the presence of frustrating intralayer exchange interactions involving both ferromagnetic (FM) first-neighbor and AF second and third-neighbor interactions in this compound.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:8.86(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments using soft X rays to investigate the electronic structure of the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt
. The overall band structure revealed by the present ARPES measurements is compared with density-functional calculations for UPt
and the non-
reference compound ThPt
. We showed that the calculation for ThPt
gives a better description of the experimental band structure, except for the
-derived heavy quasiparticle bands. This situation is reminiscent of Ce-based heavy-fermion systems, whose band structures are often very similar to those of non-
La-based compounds. The narrow heavy quasiparticle bands are located just below the Fermi level (
), and their band structure could not be resolved by the present energy resolution. We also showed that most of the U
spectral weight exists not as the coherent heavy-fermion bands but as incoherent components that distribute over a wide energy range, spanning from near
to approximately 2 eV. This result indicates that the heavy quasiparticle bands are enormously renormalized by the electron correlation effect. Additionally, we showed that the spectral intensity of the heavy-fermion bands is almost temperature independent, at least up to 100 K, where the magnetic susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss behavior.
