The field-sweep spectrum observed can be understood as a powder pattern of a Cu nucleus affected by the quadrupole interaction with no axial symmetry. The quadrupole parameters and the Knight shift of Cu are evaluated.

Recently phenomenological picture of the formation of the heavy femion state was put forward in terms of a two-component susceptibility, one component corresponding to non-interacting local moments and second, low-temperature component associated with onset of heavy fermation state (so-called "two-fluid" model). This phenomenology can be studied by measuring the local susceptibility via
SR Knight shift measurements. Normally, the Knight shift is proposional to the bulk susceptibility. The onset of second component appears as a deviation in the linear relation. Previously we discovered a non-linear relation in U
Th
Be
, which was interpreted in terms of a temperature-dependent hyperfine field. Here we reexamine these data in terms of the two-fluid model. Our analysis shows that these date are consistent with the scaling law proposed. The
SR data are discussed in terms of related changes in the resistivity and the NMR relaxation rates in these systems.

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.

performed NMR measurements in 5f-115 compounds with various ground states [UFeGa
(Paramagnet), UPtGa
, 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.

ssbauer data of 1 exhibited para magnetic-relaxation spectra similar to other oxo-neptunyls (+1,+2), the DC-
data have revealed many strikingly different features of 1 from the latter: first, its reciprocal susceptibility (
) vs.
(K) plots showed a peculiar strongly field (
)-dependent nonparamagnetic behavior, which suggests the presence of small ferromagnetic component with 

300 K. In addition, its low-temperature isothermal
exhibited anomalous relaxation behavior involving initial over-responsive
change and subs equent drift back to its "equilibrium" value (
). Moreover, such 
showed strong perturbation effect from the SQUID-
measurement itself. Such novel magnetic features suggest the presence of a largely metastable fluctuating magnetic (spin plus orbital) state in 1 as a collective body of individual Ising-type neptunyl (O=Np=O)
molecular magnets.

UPd

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.

In order to develop a theory for multipole phenomena in
-electron materials, we have proposed the construction of a microscopic model for
-electron systems based on a
-
coupling scheme. By this approach, magnetism and superconductivity of filled skutterudites have been discussed from a microscopic viewpoint. In particular, we can also evaluate physical quantities related to multipoles by treating them as combined spin and orbital degrees of freedom. In this presentation, we will discuss three issues: (1) A concept of optimal multipole susceptibility to clarify the low-temperature properties of filled skutterudites. (2) An effective way to include the crystalline electric field potential of
symmetry of filled skutterudites in the
-
coupling scheme. (3) Dynamical Jahn-Teller effects on multipole properties of filled skutterudites.

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.
