Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:27.6(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In filled skutterudite compounds, the importance of rattling is suggested in connection with the formation of heavy quasiparticles and superconductivity. A combination of the single crystal neutron diffraction and the maximum entropy method (MEM) offers an ability to unveil the thermal motion of Pr in PrOsSb without any specific model. The result reveals the widely spread Pr nuclear density distribution at room temperature, which has a trapezoidal shape in the real space with the width of roughly 0.6 in the full width at half maximum. In contrast, the Pr distribution at 8 K has a sharp, isotropic gaussian shape, and the highest density locates at the center of the cage. These features indicate the strong anharmonicity of the Pr potential in the Sb cage.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:27.6(Physics, Multidisciplinary)P-NMR measurements have been performed on a single crystal of NpFeP which is the first crystallized transuranium filled-skutterudite compound. The field-orientation dependence of the hyperfine interaction has been measured using the single crystal, and the results compared with those obtained previously in isostructural compounds UFeP and PrFeP. We have also measured the field and temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in several fields between 1.8 and 8 T at temperatures between 4.2 and 300 K. The results are discussed on the basis of a localized picture for the 5f electrons.

Due to recent advances in experimental techniques, multipole ordering phenomena have been actually observed in filled skutterudites with high symmetry. To understand multipole ordering, phenomenological theory has been developed and several experimental results could be explained, but it is necessary to make more effort to clarify microscopic aspects of multipole degrees of freedom in -electron systems. Here I propose to define -electron multipole as spin-charge density operator in one-body form from the viewpoint of multipole expansion of electron density in electromagnetism. Then, I analyze a seven-orbital Anderson model by using a numerical renormalization group method. I discuss possible multipole state of heavy lanthanide filled skutterudites.

Considering this point, the flux method is one of the most effective methods. In order to develop the new actinide compounds include the filled skutterudite, we have been searching the suitable condition for growing the single crystal. In these trial processes, we have succeeded to grow some of the other single crystals of rare-earth and actinides compounds. For example, the single crystal of UCuSi, UCuGe, ThCuGe, CeCuSi, and YbCuSi were grown by the Sn-flux method. In the case of UCuSi and YbCuSi, the de Haas-van Alphen signals are detected by using these crystals. Recently, we also succeeded in growing the highest quality single crystal of URuSi by the Czochralski-pulling method in a tetra-arc furnace and detecting the de Haas-van Alphen signal.

The Curie temperature rapidly increases from 87 K to 166 Kat 8 GPa. The result suggests that there is a correlation between the electrical conductivity and magnetic transition temperature, implying the strong hybridization.

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:43.17(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Superconducting upper critical field of CePtSi and CeIrSi without inversion symmetry was studied in detail. In CePtSi coexisting with antiferromagnetism, rather isotropic critical field was observed. On the other hand, huge anisotropy was detected in CeIrSi. These results are discussed in connection with the formation of the heavy fermion state.
