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 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.

Recently, Ran et al. reported evidence for superconductivity in the uranium-based heavy fermion material UTe
, exhibiting the rather high transition temperature of 1.6 K. The ground state of UTe
is paramagnetic, not ferromagnetic. However, the compound still exhibits a very large and anisotropic upper critical field H
, exceeding the Pauli limit along the three principal axes, similar to the ferromagnetic superconductors, UCoGe and URhGe. Field-induced metamagnetic transition and re-entrant superconducting behaviour have been reported under strong magnetic fields around 35 T, when a magnetic field was applied along the orthorhombic hard-magnetization b-axis. In this study, we have performed Te-NMR measurements on a newly discovered heavy fermion superconductor UTe
. Our NMR data confirm a moderate Ising anisotropy for both the static (K) and dynamical susceptibilities (1/
) in the paramagnetic state above about 20 K.
