is a Kondo-lattice prototype in which a magnetic field
31T induces an abrupt Fermi-surface (FS) reconstruction and pronounced in-plane electrical transport anisotropy all within its antiferromagnetic state. Here we report low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealing a pronounced decrease in the
In formal Knight shift, without changes in crystal or magnetic structures, of CeRhIn
at fields (
) spanning
. We discuss the emergent state above
in terms of a change in Ce's 4
orbitals that arises from field-induced evolution of crystal-electric field (CEF) energy levels. This change in orbital character enhances hybridization between the 4
and the conduction electrons that leads ultimately to an itinerant quantum-critical point at
50T.

The Philippines may profit from extracting uranium (U) from phosphoric acid during fertilizer production in a way that the recovered U can be beneficiated and taken as raw material for nuclear reactor fuel. Used in a high temperature reactor (HTR) that provides electricity and/or process heat for fertilizer processing and U extraction, energy-neutral fertilizer production, an idea first proposed by Haneklaus et al., is possible. This paper presents a first case study of the concept regarding a representative phosphate fertilizer plant in the Philippines and exemplary HTR designs (HTR50S and GTHTR300C) developed by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Three different arrangements (version I-III), ranging from basic electricity supply to overall power supply including on site hydrogen production for ammonia conversion, are introduced and discussed.

single crystal were carried out in order to microscopically investigate the "hidden order" (HO) state and adjacent magnetic phases in the high field limit. At the lowest measured temperature of 0.4 K, a clear anomaly reflecting a Fermi surface instability near 22 T inside the HO state is detected by the
Si shift,

Si-NMR signal disappears suddenly at

Si-NMR signal reappears for fields higher than

Times Cited Count:41 Percentile:82.32(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Here, we report a manifestation of electronic inhomogeneity in a strongly correlated
-electron system, using CeCoIn
as an example. A thermodynamic analysis of its superconductivity, combined with nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements, shows that nonmagnetic impurities (Y, La, Yb, Th, Hg, and Sn) locally suppress unconventional superconductivity, generating an inhomogeneous electronic "Swiss cheese" due to disrupted periodicity of the Kondo lattice. Our analysis may be generalized to include related systems, suggesting that electronic inhomogeneity should be considered broadly in Kondo lattice materials.

The heavy fermion superconductor URu

with
K shows the "hidden order" at
K. Below 1 K, it shows a first-order-transition at
T from the hidden order phase to the magnetically ordered phase. The
-
phase diagram for URu
Si
above 35 T is known to be complicated but the details in the each phase above 35 T are unknown. We have been investigating the electronic state by means of
Si-NMR in the higher field. The NMR experiment was done at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Tallahassee, FL, U.S.A.).

In order to microscopically investigate what happens around
22 T and just above
36 T in the lowest temperature, we have performed
Si-NMR shift measurement using a
Si-fully-enriched single crystal of URu
Si
. We have found a shift anomaly around 22 T and a critical increase toward
36 T, corresponding to a slight change of total density of states (DOS) at
22 T and increase of DOS toward
36 T. Although the
Si-NMR signal was lost by field sweeping just above
36 T at the lowest temperature, the
Si-NMR spectrum has been successfully obtained at 4.2 K in the magnetic phase just above
36 T. From the spectral shape, we will discuss a possible magnetic structure in the magnetic phase.
