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.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：8.26(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Pt NMR measurements have been performed on a single crystal of the uranium-based compound UPtGe, which is the only 5f system known to possess an incommensurate helical (cycloidal) structure below TN = 50 K. Knight shift measurement confirmed the isotropic character of the static spin susceptibilities in hexagonal-like ac crystal planes of the EuAuGe-type crystal structure. The hyperfine coupling constants were also found to be isotropic in the planes. Nuclear relaxation rate measurement revealed the development of the antiferro-magnetic spin fluctuations with XY character confined to the hexagonal-like plane below 200 K. The results present a clear contrast to the Ising anisotropy of the fluctuations in ferromagnetic superconductors UCoGe and URhGe.

Uranium (U) based heavy fermion compounds, UGe, UCoGe, and URhGe are the only fully established examples of ferromagnetic superconductors in which uniform superconductivity exists deep inside of the FM state. UPtGe has the same crystal structure with URhGe and UCoGe and shows an antiferromagnetic ordering below 
= 51 K where the ordered moments of U-moments are 1.1
1.4
. We will present the result of our new Pt-NMR study on this compound and discuss the anisotropy of the spin fluctuations in UCoGe, URhGe and UPtGe.

Uranium-based compound URhS exhibits two successive phase transitions at 54 K and 18 K. The origin of the phase transition at 18 K has been known to be ferromagnetic ordering, while the origin of the transition at 54 K is still unknown. In this study, we have investigated the mechanism of the successive phase transitions in URhSn by using Sn-NMR.

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.

We report the results of Te NMR measurements in field () applied along the easy magnetization axis (the -axis). The experiments 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 3040 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 .
