Uranium disulfide -US
showing a semimetal-to-semiconductor crossover has been investigated by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique for
S nuclei with the nuclear spin of
. Since the natural concentration 0.76% of NMR active
S nuclei is too dilute, the isotopic enrichment to
50% has been carried out for the single crystal growth. The
S NMR spectra have been successfully obtained using a single crystal of
-US
with external fields along the crystallographic
axis. The S sites assignments have been made based on these NMR spectra.

Times Cited Count:12 Percentile:54.89(Physics, Nuclear)The available experimental information on P has been greatly increased through the analysis of
decays in coincidence with protons from the interaction of an
O beam at 24 MeV with an
O target. Light charged particles from the reaction were detected with Microball, and multiple
ray coincidences with Gammasphere. Many newly observed
transitions have been identified and placed in the level scheme. Additionally, for most states, spins have been assigned based on measured
ray angular distributions while parities were inferred from lifetimes determined through Doppler-broadened line-shape analysis. Most of the states observed have been interpreted in terms of shell-model calculations using the WBP-a and SDPF-NR interactions having one particle in the 0
or 1
orbital. The two calculations agree almost equally well with the data resulting in root-mean-square differences of about 200 keV. However, two of a few high-lying states may be associated with stretched
states, but the calculations over-predict their energies by 2-3 MeV. Furthermore, a newly observed long-lived 7919-keV state is established for which no explanation is available at present.

Uranium disulfide -US
is a paramagnetic semiconductor with a narrow band gap of 90 K at low temperatures, whereas above 80 K it is a semimetal with an extremely low density of carriers. Another characteristic feature in
-US
is the strong response of the electrical resistivity to magnetic field. The magnetoresistance is similar to that of colossal magnetoresistance materials but very anisotropic. In order to clarify the microscopic spin dynamics in
-US
, nuclear magnetic resonance experiments have been performed. Since the natural concentration of
S nuclei (
) is only 0.76%, isotopic enrichment to 50% has been carried out. In the presentation, we would like to discuss about the microscopic magnetism in
-US
to show the NMR results under high fields.

-US
is a paramagnetic narrow-gap semiconductor with the energy band gap of 90 K. A characteristic feature of
-US
is the strong response of the electrical resistivity to magnetic field. On the other hand, ferromagnetism is easily induced by pressure of about 1 GPa. Consequently, it is considered to be close to a ferromagnetic instability. To elucidate microscopically this very sensitive electronic states to external fields,
S-NMR study has been performed. We will show our recent
S-NMR results and discuss the electronic states.
