Times Cited Count:54 Percentile:97.24(Physics, Multidisciplinary)This study investigates the spin susceptibility in U-based superconductor UTe
in the superconducting (SC) state by using Knight shift measurements for a magnetic field
along the
axis, which is the magnetic easy axis of UTe
. Although a tiny anomaly ascribed to the SC diamagnetic effect was observed just below the SC transition temperature
, the
-axis Knight shift in the SC state shows no significant decrease, following the extrapolation from the normal-state temperature dependence. This indicates that the spin susceptibility is nearly unchanged below
. Considering the previous Knight shift results for
and
, the dominant SC state is determined to be
in the spin-triplet pairing, which is consistent with the spin anisotropy in the normal state. The present result shows that UTe
is a spin-triplet superconductor with spin degrees of freedom.

Te NMR experiments in field (
) applied along the easy magnetization axis (the
-axis) revealed slow electronic dynamics developing in the paramagnetic state of UTe
. The observed slow fluctuations are concerned with a successive growth of long-range electronic correlations below 30
40 K, where the spin susceptibility along the hard magnetization axis (the
-axis) shows a broad maximum. The experiments also imply that tiny amounts of disorder or defects locally disturb the long-range electronic correlations and develop an inhomogeneous electronic state at low temperatures, leading to a low temperature upturn observed in the bulk-susceptibility in
. 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.

Te-NMR studies on a newly discovered heavy fermion superconductor UTe
. Using a single crystal, we have measured the
Te-NMR Knight shift
and spin-lattice relaxation rate
for fields along the three orthorhombic crystal axes. The data confirm a moderate Ising anisotropy for both the static (
) and dynamical susceptibilities (
) in the paramagnetic state above about 20 K. Around 20 K, however, we have observed a sudden loss of NMR spin-echo signal due to sudden enhancement of the NMR spin-spin relaxation rate
, when the field is applied along the easy axis of magnetization (=
axis). This behavior suggests the development of longitudinal magnetic fluctuations along the
axis at very low frequencies below 20 K.

Let us consider the hidden order of URu
Si
. Recent studies have shown that the electronic state symmetry of hidden ordered states is limited to a few space groups. However, it remains difficult to distinguish because it has the same high symmetry. Therefore, it is necessary to see how the symmetry of the hidden ordered state is reduced by external fields such as uniaxial pressure. In this study, we will discuss Ru-NQR and Si-NMR when applying uniaxial pressure in the [100] and [110] directions to form orthorhombic crystals based on group theory.

In this study, the local symmetry of Ru site is determined in the hidden order state under uni-axial stress along the [100] and [110] directions [4], by means of precise Ru-NQR measurements. These measurements again support the 4-fold symmetry at Ru site in the hidden order state without uni-axial stress. Furthermore, certain cases can be excluded from the previously proposed possible ones.
