), which has recently been investigated as a potential correlated topological insulator. The
Pu NMR spectra are consistent with axial symmetry of the shift tensor showing for the first time that
Pu NMR can be observed in an anisotropic environment and up to room temperature. The temperature dependence of the
Pu shift, combined with a relatively long spin-lattice relaxation time (
), indicate that PuB
adopts a nonmagnetic state with gaplike behavior consistent with our density functional theory calculations. The temperature dependencies of the NMR Knight shift and
imply bulk gaplike behavior confirming that PuB
is a good candidate topological insulator.
