abstract = {We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with microfocused beam on a topological line-nodal compound CaSb2 which undergoes a superconducting transition at the onset Tc ∼ 1.8 K, to clarify the Fermi-surface topology relevant to the occurrence of superconductivity. We found that a three-dimensional hole pocket at the Γ point is commonly seen for two types of single-crystalline samples fabricated by different growth conditions. On the other hand, the carrier-doping level estimated from the position of the chemical potential was found to be sensitive to the sample fabrication condition. The cylindrical electron pocket at the Y(C) point predicted by the calculations is absent in one of the two samples, despite the fact that both samples commonly show superconductivity with similar Tc's. This suggests a key role of the three-dimensional hole pocket to the occurrence of superconductivity, and further points to an intriguing possibility to control the topological nature of superconductivity by carrier tuning in CaSb2.},

abstract = {The magnetic structure of antiferromagnetic α-Mn has been unclarified for almost 70 years since its magnetism was discovered. We measured the zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of antiferromagnetic α-Mn to obtain further insight into magnetism below TN = 95 K. The site II spectra split into two sites with five subpeaks owing to quadrupole interaction, and this shows that the ordered moments at site II are slightly tilted from the [001] direction. The site III spectra revealed that this site splits into four sites below TN. These findings clearly demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic α-Mn symmetry is lower than previously considered.},

abstract = {The new Kondo material YbIr3Si7, similar to other Kondo insulators, has been reported to exhibit charge-neutral fermionic excitations through measurements of specific heat and thermal conductivity at low temperatures. 

We performed 29Si−NMR on YbIr3Si7 to investigate the magnetic response of charge-neutral fermions from a microscopic perspective. In low magnetic fields parallel to the c axis, a single NMR peak in the paramagnetic state splits into three peaks below TN. 

In contrast, only a slight shift of the single NMR peak was observed in high magnetic fields. This spectral change as a function of the c

-axis magnetic field is interpreted as a spin-flop transition, at which the magnetic moments oriented along the c axis antiferromagnetic (AFM-I) phase are rotated to the ab plane with a ferromagnetic component along the c-axis (AFM-II phase). In the vicinity of the spin-flop magnetic field 

HM, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 was found to be proportional to temperature at low temperatures, indicating the existence of charge-neutral fermions. Furthermore, a peak of 1/T1 versus the c-axis magnetic field suggests that the charge-neutral fermions in YbIr3Si7 are closely related to its magnetic properties. Our findings shed light on the origin of charge-neutral fermions in insulators.},

abstract = {Translational symmetry breaking is antagonistic to static fluidity but can be realized in superconductors, which host a quantum-mechanical coherent fluid formed by electron pairs. A peculiar example of such a state is the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, induced by a time-reversal symmetry–breaking magnetic field applied to spin-singlet superconductors. This state is intrinsically accompanied by the superconducting spin smecticity, spin density–modulated fluidity with spontaneous translational-symmetry breaking. Detection of such spin smecticity provides unambiguous evidence for the FFLO state, but its observation has been challenging. Here, we report the characteristic “double-horn” nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum in the layered superconductor Sr2RuO4 near its upper critical field, indicating the spatial sinusoidal modulation of spin density that is consistent with superconducting spin smecticity. Our work reveals that Sr2RuO4 provides a versatile platform for studying FFLO physics.},

abstract = {To investigate the normal-state magnetic properties of UTe2 under pressure, we perform 125Te nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements up to 2 GPa. Below 1.2 GPa, the b-axis NMR Knight shift shows a broad maximum at the so-called T_chimax on cooling, which is consistent with the magnetization measurement under pressure. T_chimax decreases with increasing pressure and disappears at the critical pressure Pc = 1.7 GPa, above which superconductivity is destroyed. This tendency is also observed in the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1. At low pressures, 1/T1 shows a conventional Fermi-liquid behavior (1/T1T = constant) at low temperatures, indicating the formation of the heavy-fermion state. Above Pc, 1/T1T follows a 1/T behavior without any crossover to the heavy-fermion state down to the lowest temperature (~3 K). In addition, the NMR signals disappear below 3 K, due to the influence of the magnetically ordered moments. From the pressure dependence of the T_chimax and Knight shift, it was found that the Fermi surface character is abruptly changed at Pc, and that superconductivity is observed only in the heavy-fermion state.},

abstract = {This study investigates the spin susceptibility in U-based superconductor UTe2 in the superconducting (SC) state by using Knight shift measurements for a magnetic field H along the a axis, which is the magnetic easy axis of UTe2. 

Although a tiny anomaly ascribed to the SC diamagnetic effect was observed just below the SC transition temperature Tc, the a-axis Knight shift in the SC state shows no significant decrease, following the extrapolation from the normal-state temperature dependence. 

This indicates that the spin susceptibility is nearly unchanged below Tc. 

Considering the previous Knight shift results for H∥b and H∥c, the dominant SC state is determined to be B3u in the spin-triplet pairing, which is consistent with the spin anisotropy in the normal state. 

The present result shows that UTe2 is a spin-triplet superconductor with spin degrees of freedom.},

The magnitude and temperature dependence of the Knight shift at the As(2) site indicate easy-plane-type magnetic anisotropy in CeRh2As2. 

With regard to spin fluctuations, the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 arising from the 4f electrons decreases from high-temperature constant behavior on cooling at ∼ 40~K, which is typical behavior of heavy-fermion systems. 

In addition, 1/T1 becomes constant at low temperatures, suggesting spatially two-dimensional antiferromagnetic fluctuations. Two-dimensional magnetic correlations in the real space are quite rare among heavy-fermion superconductors, and they may be a key factor in the unique superconducting multi-phase in CeRh2As2.},

abstract = {Spatial inversion symmetry in crystal structures is closely related to the superconducting (SC) and magnetic properties of materials. Recently, several theoretical proposals that predict various interesting phenomena caused by the breaking of the local inversion symmetry have been presented. However, experimental validation has not yet progressed owing to the lack of model materials. Here we present evidence for antiferromagnetic (AFM) order in CeRh2As2 (SC transition temperature TSC ∼ 0.37 K ), wherein the Ce site breaks the local inversion symmetry. The evidence is based on the observation of different extents of broadening of the nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrum at two crystallographically inequivalent As sites. This AFM ordering breaks the inversion symmetry of this system, resulting in the activation of an odd-parity magnetic multipole. Moreover, the onset of antiferromagnetism TN within an SC phase, with TN < TSC , is quite unusual in systems wherein superconductivity coexists or competes with magnetism. Our observations show that CeRh2As2 is a promising system to study how the absence of local inversion symmetry induces or influences unconventional magnetic and SC states, as well as their interaction.},

abstract = {125Te NMR experiments in field (H) applied along the easy magnetization axis (the a-axis) revealed slow electronic dynamics developing in the paramagnetic state of UTe2. The observed slow fluctuations are concerned with a successive growth of long-range electronic correlations below 30–40 K, where the spin susceptibility along the hard magnetization axis (the b-axis) shows a broad maximum. The experiments also imply that tiny amounts of disorder or defects locally disturb the long-range electronic correlations and develop an inhomogeneous electronic state at low temperatures, leading to a low temperature upturn observed in the bulk-susceptibility in H || a. We suggest that UTe2 would be located on the paramagnetic side near an electronic phase boundary, where either magnetic or Fermi-surface instability would be the origin of the characteristic fluctuations.},
