Elastic neutron scattering experiments have been carried out in order to reveal the magnetic structure and 5f electronic state of NpRhGa. This material exhibits two successive antiferromagnetic transition at T
= 36 K and T
= 33 K, respectively. A-type antiferromagnetic structure with the propagation vector q = (0 0 1/2) has been revealed below T. We found a remarkable change in the moment direction, namely the Np moment is parallel and perpendicular to the c-axis for T 
T T and T T, respectively. The magnetic moment exhibits a remarkable jump at T, indicating that the moment reorientation is associated with the change of 5f electronic state. The observed magnetic form factor indicates the dominant contribution of the orbital moment and revealed an itinerant character of the 5f electrons.

PuCoGa has attracted much interest because it has a high transition temperature 
(
18 K) compared with other 115 systems. According to the previous 
SR results, temperature dependence of magnetic penetration depth 
in PuCoGa shows -linear behavior, suggesting that the superconducting order parameter of this material may be 
-wave symmetry. In order to elucidate that point, we have measured the magnetic field dependence of in this sample by means of SR technique. At our poster presentation, we discuss the symmetry of superconducting order parameter in PuCoGa in detail.

Very recently, we have succeeded in NMR/NQR measurements for PuRhGa. PuRhGa is a superconductor with 
9 K, which is isomorphic to PuCoGa with the higher =18 K. We have reported that PuRhGa is an unconventional superconductor with an anisotropic gap, through the measurement of NQR spin-lattice relaxation rate 
, while PuCoGa is also reported to be such an anisotropic superconductor. The Knight shift 
and of NMR under applied field for the normal state of PuRhGa suggest an anisotropic feature of hyperfine and/or spin fluctuation in this system. We will outline the superconducting state and report the nature of the normal state based on the basis of and 
results. The difference between PuRhGa and PuCoGa will be also discussed.

We report on the Magnetism, magnetic penetration depth and the Knight shift in polycrystalline sample of CePtSi by means of muon spin rotation and relaxation method. The appearance of the internal field under the zero magnetic field in whole volume of the specimen, was observed, which indicating clear evidence of antiferromagnetism. The muon Knight shift was measured down to 20mK at 17kOe. Three different frequencies are seen in the muon spin rotation spectra, which depend on the temperature. The symmetry of the superconducting Cooper pair will be discussed.

The low-temperature phase transition in NpO has attracted much attention as a promising candidate for a new class of phase transitions associated with octupolar degrees of freedom. In order to elucidate the nature of this exotic phase transition in NpO, we have initiated the first O-NMR measurements on this system using a powder sample. From the O-NMR spectrum, the occurrence of two inequivalent oxygen sites has been confirmed below 
= 26 K. It has also been shown that the temperature and field dependence of the O NMR spectrum can be understood by considering an unconventional hyperfine interaction between the O nuclear spins and field-induced antiferromagnetic moments arising from the longitudinal triple-
antiferro-quadrupolar order. These NMR results give strong evidence for the occurrence of the longitudinal triple- multipole structure in NpO. We will also discuss our recent O-NMR results in a single crystal.

The low-dimensional systems exhibit wide-variety of physical properties. In the antiferromagnetic triangular lattice, for instance, resonating valence bond state is expected, furthermore, in one-dimensional (1D) systems, metal-insulator transition (Peierls transition) occurs due to charge-lattice couplings. Up to now, the study of low-dimensional systems has been mostly performed in oxides and organic compounds, but it is rare in the rare-earth and actinide intermetallics. To looking for the novel low-dimensionality in -electron systems, we focused on the UIrB, and NMR measurement was carried out. From Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates, ferromagnetic correlations develop above 50 K, but below 50 K, the emergence of antiferromagnetic correlations was clarified along with the saturation of ferromagnetic correlations. The possible model to explain the obtained result is nesting effect on the 1D Fermi surface, and it is expected that UIrB will be the typical compound to investigate the physical properties of 1D -electrons systems.

Recently, new superconductors have been discovered in Pu-based HoCoGa(115) structure compounds: PuCoGa (
) and PuRhGa (
). The discovery has stimulated a lot of interest in actinide compounds. We report NMR measurements on a high-quality single crystal sample of the non-superconducting U- and Np-based 115 compounds. In order to elucidate universal magnetic properties and the origin of superconductivity in the 115 families, spin-lattice relaxation and Knight shift measurements have been performed systematically in the non-superconducting 115 compounds. Comparison of dynamical properties with the superconducting Pu115 compounds will be presented.

Recently quasi-two-dimensional electron state in rare earth and actinide compounds with HoCoGa-type tetragonal crystal structure was attracted a lot attention in relation to heavy fermion superconductivity observed in CeCoIn, CeIrIn and PuCoGa. In order to elucidate the role of electron in these compounds, it is necessary to compare their electronic state with that of lanthanum and thorium compounds which do not possess the -electrons. The number of valence electrons in the thorium compound is the same as that of the corresponding 4
-itinerant cerium compound. We have recently tried to make thorium 115 compounds by indium flux method and have succeeded in discovering the new material of ThRhIn. Crystal structure and quality were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, fluorescent X-ray analysis and EPMA. The lattice parameters were determined to be 4.681(6) 
and 
, respectively. The positional parameter 
of In(4

We have investigated the physical properties of Heavy Fermion superconductors by the ac calorimetry under high pressure using a thermocouple. The method is powerful tool since the high sensitive measurement of the heat capacity is possible and the precise pressure dependence of transition temperatures such as the superconducting transition can be determined. In this conference, I would like to report our investigations on the heavy fermion superconductors CePtSi, CeNiGe and UIr. We have made pressure phase diagram of these compounds and discuss the relation between the magnetism and superconductivity.

UPdAl is an attractive material because of the coexistence of the antiferromagnetic order below 
= 14.5 K and superconductivity below 
= 2 K. In order to discuss the coupling between magnetism and superconductivity by resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (RMXS), nature of the resonance at each absorption edge should be clarified before the measurements across . Therefore we performed RMXS study from U 
to 
edge at 
. In addition to a huge resonance at -edge, we observed a resonant feature at 
-edge which corresponds to the transition from 
to 
orbitals, while resonance at -edge and 
-edge is rather small.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Physics, Multidisciplinary)In the present study, we have performed SX-ARPES experiments on some heavy Fermion (HF) uranium compounds such as UPdAl using soft X-ray synchrotron radiation from BL23SU of SPring-8. UPdAl is an HF uranium compound which has transitions into an antiferromagnetic phase at 
K and into a superconducting phase at 
=2 K. To describe the various properties of this compound, the dual model for U 5 states is proposed. In this model, two of the three U 5f states are in a localized state while the third electron has delocalized character. We have obtained U 5f sensitive band structure of UPdAl by SX-ARPES, and the results are compared with this scenario. Temperature dependence of the U 5 electronic structure in this compound is also discussed.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The discovery of the high-temperature in PuCoGa and PuRhGa promoted us to extend our research to other actinide compounds. We recently succeeded in growing single crystals of PuRhGa and performed magnetic measurements and NMR study both in the normal and superconducting states in collaboration with Tohoku university. The magnetic susceptibility consists of Curie-Weiss and temperature-independent terms where the former corresponds to the paramagnetic effective moment close to the 5
configuration. On the other hand, the superconducting upper critical field is anisotropic. It is explained by the anisotropic mass model with an effective mass ratio of 4, indicating the presence of quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surfaces. These characteristics are reminiscent of those observed in CeCoIn.
