Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:17.88(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)The vortex state defined by two characteristic length scales, magnetic penetration depth () and coherence length (), in a layered hexagonal superconductor CaAlSi was probed using muon spin rotation. From preliminary analysis using modified London model, we found that the in-plane increases with increasing magnetic field while inter-plane is almost independent of magnetic field. The presence of field-induced quasiparticle excitation manifested in the field dependence of suggests that CaAlSi has an anisotropic gap structure.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:44.47(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The response of vortex state to the magnetic field in NbSn is probed using muon spin rotation and small-angle neutron scattering. A transformation of vortex structure between hexagonal and squared lattice is observed over a relatively low field range of 2-3T. The gradual increase of the magnetic penetration depth with increasing field provides microscopic evidence for anisotropic (or multigapped) -wave pairing suggested by the Raman scattering experiment. This result renders need for careful examination on the difference of electronic properties between NbSn and VSi.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:6.64(Physics, Condensed Matter)Magnetic field dependence of the effective penetration depth () determined by SR is reported for -Ca(AlSi), a structurally new phase of Ca(AlSi). The new phase has an AlB-type crystal structure with 3 symmetry which, in contrast to earlier reports, does not exhibit superlattice structure along the -axis. The bulk susceptibility measurement indicates that the upper critical field is much lower than that in superstructured ones for both - and -axis directions. A weak anisotropy in the superconducting order parameter is suggested from the increase of with increasing external field.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:6.64(Physics, Condensed Matter)A comprehensive magnetic and superconducting phase diagram determined by muon spin rotation/relaxation (SR) is presented for CaNaCuOBr which has apical bromine atoms. Evidence for antiferromagnetic (AF) order in lightly doped samples and that for quasi-static spin glass (SG)-like state in moderately doped ones are obtained by ZF-SR at low temperatures. While the phase diagram is qualitatively similar to that in typical 2-1-4 cuprates including CaNaCuOCl and LaSrCuO, it exhibits a slight shift (expansion) over the axis.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:22.34(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The temperature dependence of muon spin relaxation rate exhibits a significant increase below 130 K in CaB and 110 K in BaB, while no sigh of spontaneous muon precession signal under a zero field is observed. Moreover, the electric field gradient at the boron site measured by muon level-crossing resonance exhibits a step like change at 110 K in CaB. These results suggest a change in electronic state and the associated emergence of weak random magnetism below 110-130 K in these alkaline earth hexaborides.
