We have measured the heat capacity of the pressure-induced superconductor UIr by ac calorimetry under pressures up to 1.6 GPa. The heat capacity shows an anomaly at the Curie temperature
, and this anomaly shifts to lower temperatures with increasing pressure. The present pressure dependence of
was consistent with the results obtained by the previous resistivity and magnetization measurements.

To elucidate the mechanism and controlling parameter of the superconductivity in CeTIn
(T=Co, Rh, and Ir), we study an
-electron model based on a
-
coupling scheme on a square lattice. In this study, we consider electrons with total angular momentum
=5/2. These states split into one
and two
doublets under a tetragonal CEF. By choosing appropriate CEF potential, we can control the CEF wave-functions without changing the level splitting. Although the Fermi surface does not change so much as long as the splitting is fixed, the ground state changes depending on the CEF wave-function among paramagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and
-wave superconducting states. Thus, in addition to the Fermi-surface topology and the carrier density, the wave-function of the CEF state is an important ingredient to control the appearance of superconductivity in such systems. We will discuss possible relevance of our scenarioto the superconductivity in CeTIn
.

In this paper, we present recent and detailed
O-NMR results obtained in a single crystal. From the analysis of the field-angle dependence of the NMR spectrum, the appearance of a hyperfine interaction with field-induced antiferro-octupole (AFO) moment has been confirmed. This field-induced AFO moment appears as a result of the longitudinal triple-
antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) structure in the ordered state. We have also observed spin echo modulations caused by quadrupole interactions between the
O nuclei and the Np-5f quadrupole moments. This reveals that the AFQ structure is directly observable by NMR. Our NMR results provide further insight into the microscopic nature of multipole phase transitions in f-electron systems.

UPd
shows the successive quadrupole orders at
K,
K and
K. The phase transition at
comes from the (1/2,0,1/2)-type quadrupole orders on quasi-cubic uranium-sublattice. On the other hand, the quadrupole states below
are still controversial; while the Polarized Neutron Diffraction suggested the triple-
structure, the Resonant X-ray Scattering assumed the canted quadrupole order. In addition, below
, an antiferromagnetic order has been suggested, but the magnetic structure and so on are not still identified. To investigate the local symmetry of the quadruple order in UPd
, we tried the nuclear quadrupole resonance, and we succeeded to find the first spin-echo signals from the UPd
probed by
Pd nuclei. In this paper, we report the nuclear properties of
Pd isotope and discuss the characteristics of the quadrupole orders emerging in each temperature phases.

The Ising spin glass is investigated close to the spin glass transition temperature. Parisi's order parameter function and the de Almeida-Thouless (AT) line are obtained in various cluster approximations. A class of cluster approximations introduced by Baviera, Pasquini, and Serva, the Bethe approximation and cactus approximations are used to study effects of fluctuations on the replica symmetry breaking. Fluctuations seem to cause reduction in the slope of the order parameter function. The locus of the AT line for a cluster approximation changes from that for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model and the change seems to be affected by the existence of a loop in a cluster.

O
(x = 1.0, 0.5) thin films by X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) and hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HXPES). The XMCD studies indicated that the spin moments of Mn and Ru are aligned in the opposite directions. The HXPES spectra indicated the Ru 4d states at around the Fermi edge (E
) and the Mn 3d states below E
. From these results, we propose that the localized Mn 3d t
states and the itinerant Ru 4d t
band are antiferromagnetically coupled and give rise to ferromagnetism, in analogy with the mechanism proposed for the double perovskite oxides such as Sr

performed NMR measurements in 5f-115 compounds with various ground states [UFeGa

, NpCoGa
, NpFeGa
(Antiferromagnet) and PuRhGa
(Superconductor)], and evaluated the T-dependence of the local (actinide site) magnetic fluctuation energies (//c and c) in the paramagnetic states. An anisotropy in the magnetic fluctuations is observed in all compounds due to the strong LS coupling, in contrast to 3d-high Tc cuprates which have isotropic magnetic fluctuations at Cu sites. It is remarkable that the XY-type magnetic anisotropy is strong in PuRhGa
comparing with the non-superconducting 5f-115 compounds. The fluctuation energy in PuRhGa
is of the order of 10meV which is between of heavy fermion superconductors (1meV for 
1K) and high 
cuprates (102meV for 
100K). The relation between the magnetic fluctuation properties and the ground states will be discussed.

PrRu
P
shows a metal-insulator (MI) transition at
62 K accompanied by a structural phase transition. Because LaRu
P
without
electrons does not shows the MI transition,
electrons in the Pr atom plays an important role in the transition. In order to elucidate a modulation of electronic states of Pr, we have carried out a resonant X-ray scattering study of PrRu
P
at Pr
- and
-edges. Below
, resonant signal at the absorption main-edge was successfully observed at the superlattice reflections of the modulation vector
in addition to the energy-independent component from the lattice distortion. Because the reflection contains the difference of anomalous scattering factors between two Pr atoms in the unit cell, two different electronic states are actually ordered below
. Furthermore we found that the polarization of X-ray is mostly unrotated even at the resonance, which indicates that the resonant scattering in PrRu
P
is almost isotropic.
