abstract = {Since the progress in the fabrication techniques of thin films of exotic materials such as strongly correlated heavy-fermion compounds, microscopic studies of the magnetic and electronic properties inside the films have been needed. Herein, we report the observation of In115 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) in an epitaxial film of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5, for which the microscopic field gradient within the unit cell as well as magnetic and superconducting properties at zero field are evaluated. We find that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate in the film is in excellent agreement with that of bulk crystals, whereas the NQR spectra show noticeable shifts and significant broadening indicating a change in the electric-field distribution inside the film. The analysis implies a displacement of In layers in the film, which, however, does not affect the magnetic fluctuations and superconducting pairing. This implies that inhomogeneity of the electronic field gradient in the film sample causes no pair-breaking effect. © 2017 American Physical Society.},

The antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering temperature T N and the moment μord are continuously suppressed with increasing P content x and disappear at x = 0.3 where bulk superconductivity appears. At this superconducting x = 0.3, quantum critical AFM fluctuations are observed, indicative of the intimate relationship between superconductivity and low-energy AFM fluctuations associated with the quantum-critical point in LaFe(As 1-xPx)O. The relationship is similar to those observed in other isovalent-substitution systems, e.g., BaFe2(As 1-xPx)2 and SrFe2(As 1-xPx)2, with the "122" structure. Moreover, the AFM order reappears with further P substitution (x 0.4). The variation of the ground state with respect to the P substitution is considered to be linked to the change in the band character of Fe-3d orbitals around the Fermi level. © 2014 The Physical Society of Japan.},

The temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate T1-1 as well as the electrical resistivity is well reproduced by a SCR model where two-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AF) spin fluctuations are dominant. The successful description of the crossover feature from non-Fermi-liquid to Fermi-liquid behavior strongly suggests that low-lying spin fluctuations in BaFe2(As1-xPx)2 and Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 possess an itinerant AF nature, and that chemical substitution in the two compounds tunes the distance of these systems to an AF quantum critical point. The close relationship between spin fluctuations and superconductivity is discussed compared with the other unconventional superconductors, cuprate and heavy fermion superconductors. In addition, it is suggested that magnetism and lattice instability in these pnictides are strongly linked via orbital degrees of freedom. © 2013 American Physical Society.},

The variation in the magnetic-fluctuation character with respect to x is investigated from the in-plane and out-of-plane fluctuations and the relationship between the static spin susceptibility and the in-plane fluctuation. It was found that three-dimensional ferromagnetic (FM) correlations are dominant and give rise to the FM ordering in CeRuPO. The out-of plane fluctuations are significantly suppressed with increasing x, and it was revealed that the FM fluctuations become two dimensional near a FM quantum critical point (QCP). Our NMR results strongly suggest that a unique FM QCP in Ce(Ru 1-xFex)PO is induced by the suppression of the magnetic correlations along the c-axis, which is a different mechanism from that presumed in heavy-fermion compounds. © 2013 The Physical Society of Japan.},

NQR measurements revealed that the in-plane four-fold symmetry is broken at the Sb site below TA∼40 K, without an internal field appearing at the Sb site. These exclude a spin-density wave (SDW)/ charge density wave (CDW) ordering with incommensurate correlations, but can be understood with the commensurate CDW ordering at TA. The spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1, measured at the four-fold symmetry breaking site, decreases below superconducting (SC) transition temperature Tc, indicative of the microscopic coexistence of superconductivity and the CDW/SDW phase below TA. Furthermore, 1/T1 of 121Sb-NQR shows a coherence peak just below Tc and decreases exponentially at low temperatures. These results are in sharp contrast with those in cuprate and iron-based superconductors, and strongly suggest that its SC symmetry is classified to an ordinary s-wave state. © 2013 American Physical Society.},

We found that Ce(Ru0.15Fe0.85)PO shows critical fluctuations down to ∼0.3K, as well as the continuous suppression of Curie temperature and the ordered moments by the Fe substitution.

The anisotropy of the spin-lattice relaxation rate T1-1, (T 1)H∥ab-1/ (T 1)H∥c-1, in the paramagnetic phase of x=0 and 0.025 is constant (∼1.5) but increases abruptly below T S due to the enhancement of (T 1)H∥ab-1 by the slowing-down of magnetic fluctuations.

abstract = {P 31 and A 75 s NMR measurements were performed in superconducting BaFe2( As0.67P0.33)2 with Tc =30 K. The nuclear-spin-lattice relaxation rate T 1 -1 and the Knight shift in the normal state indicate the development of antiferromagnetic fluctuations, and T 1 -1 in the superconducting (SC) state decreases without a coherence peak just below Tc, as observed in (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As 2. In contrast to other iron arsenide superconductors, the T 1 -1 T behavior is observed below 4 K, indicating the presence of a residual density of states at zero energy. Our results suggest that strikingly different SC gaps appear in BaFe2 (As1-x Px)2despite a comparable Tc value, an analogous phase diagram, and similar Fermi surfaces to (Ba1-x Kx) Fe2 As2. © 2010 The American Physical Society.},

abstract = {We report experimental results of 75As and 139La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in the layered oxypnictide system LaFeAs (O1 - x Fx) (x = 0.0, 0.04, 0.07 and 0.11) where superconductivity occurs in x greater than 0.04. In the undoped LaFeAsO, 1 / T1 of 139La exhibits a distinct peak at TN ~ 142 K below which the La NMR spectra become broadened due to the internal magnetic field attributed to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering. In the x = 0.04 sample, 1 / T1 T of 75As exhibits a Curie-Weiss temperature dependence down to 30 K, suggesting the development of AFM spin fluctuations with decreasing temperature. In the x = 0.11 sample, in contrast, pseudogap behavior is observed in 1 / T1 T at the 75As site with a gap value of ΔPG ~ 175 K. The spin dynamics vary markedly with F-doping, which is ascribed to the change of the Fermi-surface structure by the electron-doping. As for the superconducting properties for x = 0.04, 0.07 and 0.11, 1 / T1 of 75As in all compounds does not exhibit a coherence peak just below Tc and follows a T3 dependence at low temperatures. These results seemingly suggests that unconventional superconductivity with zero gap along lines, whereas the lack of the residual density of states at the low temperatures is incompatible with the presence of the line-nodes. We discuss similarity and difference between LaFeAs (O1 - x Fx) and cuprates, and also discuss the relationship between spin dynamics and superconductivity on the basis of F-doping dependence of Tc and 1 / T1.

abstract = {We report A 75 s NMR studies on LaFeAs (O1-x Fx) (0≤x≤0.14). At x=0.04 near the phase boundary, from resistivity, spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/ T1, and NMR spectrum measurements, we found weak magnetic order at TN □30 K. Antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations proved through 1/ T1 are suppressed significantly with F doping, and pseudogap behavior without pronounced AFM fluctuations is observed at x=0.11 where TC is maximum. This significant suppression of 1/ T1 T upon F doping while TC remains nearly unchanged suggests that low-energy AFM fluctuations probed with A 75 s NMR do not play a crucial role in the superconductivity. © 2009 The American Physical Society.},

The spin dynamics vary markedly with F-doping, which is ascribed to the change of the Fermi-surface structure because of the electron doping. As for the superconducting properties for x = 0.04, 0.07 and 0.11, the 1 / T1 of75 As in the three samples does not exhibit a coherence peak just below Tc and follows a T3 dependence at low temperatures. These results may suggest unconventional superconductivity with a zero gap along the lines, but neither the field-induced extra relaxation rate nor the residual density of states at the low temperatures is incompatible with the presence of the line nodes.
