Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:45.15(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)CeRhIn is a Kondo-lattice prototype in which a magnetic field 31T induces an abrupt Fermi-surface (FS) reconstruction and pronounced in-plane electrical transport anisotropy all within its antiferromagnetic state. Here we report low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealing a pronounced decrease in the In formal Knight shift, without changes in crystal or magnetic structures, of CeRhIn at fields () spanning . We discuss the emergent state above in terms of a change in Ce's 4 orbitals that arises from field-induced evolution of crystal-electric field (CEF) energy levels. This change in orbital character enhances hybridization between the 4 and the conduction electrons that leads ultimately to an itinerant quantum-critical point at 50T.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:49.2(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Very high field Si-NMR measurements using a fully Si-enriched URuSi single crystal were carried out in order to microscopically investigate the "hidden order" (HO) state and adjacent magnetic phases in the high field limit. At the lowest measured temperature of 0.4 K, a clear anomaly reflecting a Fermi surface instability near 22 T inside the HO state is detected by the Si shift, . Moreover, a strong enhancement of develops near a critical field T, and the Si-NMR signal disappears suddenly at , indicating the total suppression of the HO state. Nevertheless, a weak and shifted Si-NMR signal reappears for fields higher than at 4.2 K, providing evidence for a magnetic structure within the magnetic phase caused by the Ising-type anisotropy of the uranium ordered moments.

Times Cited Count:35 Percentile:81.44(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Here, we report a manifestation of electronic inhomogeneity in a strongly correlated -electron system, using CeCoIn as an example. A thermodynamic analysis of its superconductivity, combined with nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements, shows that nonmagnetic impurities (Y, La, Yb, Th, Hg, and Sn) locally suppress unconventional superconductivity, generating an inhomogeneous electronic "Swiss cheese" due to disrupted periodicity of the Kondo lattice. Our analysis may be generalized to include related systems, suggesting that electronic inhomogeneity should be considered broadly in Kondo lattice materials.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:47.39(Physics, Multidisciplinary)It has been predicted that superconducting vortices should be electrically charged and that this effect is particularly enhanced for high-temperature superconductors. Hall effect and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments suggest the existence of charge accumulation in the vortex core, but the effects are small and the interpretation controversial. Here we show that the Abrikosov vortex lattice, characteristic of the mixed state of superconductors, will become unstable at a sufficiently high magnetic field if there is charge trapped on the vortex core. Our NMR measurements of the magnetic fields generated by vortices in BiSrCaCuO single crystals provide evidence for an electrostatically driven vortex lattice reconstruction with the magnitude of charge on each vortex pancake of , depending on doping, in line with theoretical estimates.

Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:50.85(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Competition with magnetism is at the heart of high-temperature superconductivity, most intensely felt near a vortex core. To investigate vortex magnetism we have developed a spatially resolved probe based upon NMR spin-lattice-relaxation spectroscopy. With this approach we have found a spin-density wave associated with the vortex core in BiSrCaCuO, similar to checkerboard patterns in the local density of electronic states reported from scanning tunneling microscope experiments. We have determined both the spin-modulation amplitude and decay length from the vortex core in fields up to = 30 T.

The heavy fermion superconductor URuSi with K shows the "hidden order" at K. Below 1 K, it shows a first-order-transition at T from the hidden order phase to the magnetically ordered phase. The - phase diagram for URuSi above 35 T is known to be complicated but the details in the each phase above 35 T are unknown. We have been investigating the electronic state by means of Si-NMR in the higher field. The NMR experiment was done at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Tallahassee, FL, U.S.A.).

In order to microscopically investigate what happens around 22 T and just above 36 T in the lowest temperature, we have performed Si-NMR shift measurement using a Si-fully-enriched single crystal of URuSi. We have found a shift anomaly around 22 T and a critical increase toward 36 T, corresponding to a slight change of total density of states (DOS) at 22 T and increase of DOS toward 36 T. Although the Si-NMR signal was lost by field sweeping just above 36 T at the lowest temperature, the Si-NMR spectrum has been successfully obtained at 4.2 K in the magnetic phase just above 36 T. From the spectral shape, we will discuss a possible magnetic structure in the magnetic phase.
