enriched in
Si isotope, which is an NMR nucleus, by 52% was prepared. Since the natural abundance ratio of
Si isotope is about 4%, the accumulated measurement time can be shortened to about one hundredth by this concentration. Results of the Si-NMR linewidth of hidden ordered phase using this single crystal sample have already been reported. In this report, we will report more detailed analysis on the magnetic field, temperature and angle of this line width We also discuss the possibility of distribution of magnetic susceptibility in two-fold symmetry by RKKY model.

independent from 300 K down to

dependence below 20 K. These results indicate that electronic states near the Fermi level are modified at low temperatures. The observed spin-echo oscillations can be interpreted with the Ruderman-Kittel and pseudo-dipolar interactions between nearest-neighbor Si nuclei driven by conduction electron scattering at the Fermi surface. Possible modifications to the Fermi surface at low temperatures are discussed.

, the magnetic excitations around quantum critical phase transition is investigated. It is revealed that the coexisting Fermi and non-Fermi states appears near the quantum critical phase transition. Such a mottled state is considered to have remained hidden in Ce and U heavy fermion compounds, owing presumably to short lifetimes for the two states. The mottled state is highly anisotropic to applied magnetic field, which is consistent with previous studies. The origin of mottled state will be discussed.

Si
is not a case of the ordinary spin density wave (SDW) instability observed in Ce-based Kondo-lattices, but a candidate for a novel locally critical case In new observations reported here, we find that coexisting, static Fermi liquid (FL) and non-Fermi liquid (NFL) states are a key feature of the QCPT in YbRh

has been investigated microscopically by means of
O NMR. To avoid complexities arising from sample aging associated with the alpha decay of
Am, all measurements have been performed within 40 days after sample synthesis. Even during such a short period, however, a rapid change of NMR line shape has been observed at 1.5 K, suggesting that the ground state of AmO
is very sensitive to disorder. We have also confirmed the loss of
O NMR signal intensity over a wide temperature range below

We report an In NMR study of a single-crystal sample of the heavy fermion superconductor CeIrIn
. The observed non-linear variation of Knight Shift with static susceptibility in the normal state is consistent with the two-fluid (components) model of Nakatsuji et al, indicating that two individual contributions to static susceptibility exist. However, our results can also be understood in terms of a T-dependent hyperfine coupling, which accounts for the spin-lattice relaxation data naturally on the basis of a one-component dynamical susceptibility. In addition, the observed T-dependence of the hyperfine coupling is scaled to a density of states given by dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). We believe that this contrast between the static and dynamical properties is a crucial dual nature of the heavy fermion crossover, which related with the coherence between localized and itinerant excitations.

substituted with 3% La. The temperature dependence of the local magnetic susceptibility around La ions has been extracted from the
La Knight shift. These data show that the non-magnetic
crystalline-electric-field (CEF) ground state (GS) is preserved even at the nearest neighboring Pr ions, although their CEF level scheme is slightly modified due to the La substitution. On the other hand, the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate
