abstract = {We report the re-measurement of the a-axis spin susceptibility component in an early-stage sample of the spin-triplet superconductor UTe2 with the transition temperature of TSC = 1.6 K. Using Knight-shift measurements along the b axis and at a 10-degree tilt from the b axis towards the a axis, we accurately determined the a-axis component without directly measuring the a-axis Knight shift. Our results reveal a decrease of approximately 3% in the a-axis spin susceptibility in the superconducting state under a-axis magnetic field μ0Ha ∼ 0.1 T, indicating that the spin susceptibility decreases similarly in both early-stage and ultraclean samples with TSC = 2.1 K. The previously reported absence of the reduction in Knight shift is attributed to the missing of signal from the superconducting region and to the detection of residual signals from the non-superconducting region instead. We also found that the decrease in the a-axis spin susceptibility is immediately suppressed with increasing the a-axis magnetic field and is estimated to be completely suppressed at around 1.5 T due to superconducting spin rotation.},

abstract = {We report the 77Se-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results of trivalent Yb zigzag chain compound YbAgSe2, which is a sister compound of YbCuS2. The 77Se-NMR spectrum was reproduced by considering two different Se sites with negative Knight shifts and three-axis anisotropy. Above the Néel temperature TN, the Knight shift is proportional to the bulk magnetic susceptibility. Below TN, the extremely broad signal with weak intensity and the relatively sharp signal coexist, suggesting that one is strongly influenced by internal magnetic fields and the other remains relatively unaffected by these fields in the magnetic ordered state. The nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 remains almost constant above TN and abruptly decreases below TN. In contrast to YbCuS2, a T-linear behavior of 1/T1 at low temperatures was not observed at least down to 1.0 K in YbAgSe2. Our results indicate that the gapless excitation is unique to YbCuS2, or is immediately suppressed in the magnetic fields.},

abstract = {CaSb 2 is the Dirac line-nodal material that exhibits a superconducting (SC) transition at 1.7 K. In spite of its conventional SC state at ambient pressure, the transition temperature T c shows a peak structure against hydrostatic pressure. We performed ac magnetic susceptibility and 123 Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on single-crystalline CaSb 2 under pressures up to 2.08 GPa. T c monotonically increased in this pressure region, which is consistent with a previous study. We observed continuous broadening of the NQR spectrum against pressure, which is a sign of unique compression behavior of the lattice. In the normal state, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1 / T 1 is proportional to temperature in all pressure values, typical of a metal. However, 1 / T 1 T in the normal state is independent of pressure, indicating that the density of states at the Fermi energy N ( E F ) , which is one of the parameters governing T c , is insensitive to pressure. From these results, we conclude that N ( E F ) does not govern the origin of the enhancement in T c . This is unusual for a weak electron-phonon coupling superconductor. In the SC state, we revealed that the SC gap becomes larger and more isotropic under pressure.},

abstract = {Nanoparticles were predicted to exhibit unique physical properties due to quantum size effects, but their identification remains difficult.

According to Kubo's theory, the gap size is inversely correlated with both the density of states at the Fermi energy and the number of atoms in the particle.

Previously, we confirmed that the particle size and magnetic field dependence of NMR anomaly temperature is consistent with the estimated ``Kubo'' gap.

Here, we investigated the density-of-states dependence in the Pt$_{1-x}$Cu$_{x}$ nanoparticles.

While an enhancement of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ at low temperatures was clearly observed for the Pt-rich nanoparticles, such behavior was abruptly suppressed in the Cu-rich nanoparticles.

Furthermore, the NMR anomaly temperature is nearly unchanged with varying the density of states.

Our findings indicate that the quantum size effect contains more profound physics than just the ones predicted by Kubo.

However, the observation of spin-direction rotation occurring inside the SC state (SC spin rotation) has hardly been reported. Uranium ditelluride, a recently found topological superconductor, exhibits various SC phases under pressure: SC state at ambient pressure (SC1), high-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC2), and low-temperature SC state above 0.5 gigapascal (SC3). We performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ac susceptibility measurements on a single-crystal uranium ditelluride. The b axis spin susceptibility remains unchanged in SC2, unlike in SC1, and decreases below the SC2-SC3 transition with spin modulation. These unique properties in SC3 arise from the coexistence of two SC order parameters. Our NMR results confirm spin-triplet superconductivity with SC spin parallel to b axis in SC2 and unveil the remaining of spin degrees of freedom in SC uranium ditelluride.},

abstract = {Recently, a superconducting (SC) transition from low-field (LF) to high-field (HF) SC states was reported in CeRh2As2, indicating the existence of multiple SC states. It has been theoretically noted that the existence of two Ce sites in the unit cell, the so-called sub-lattice degrees of freedom owing to the local inversion symmetry breaking at the Ce sites, can lead to the appearance of multiple SC phases even under an interaction inducing spin-singlet superconductivity. CeRh2As2 is considered as the first example of multiple SC phases owing to this sub-lattice degree of freedom. However, microscopic information about the SC states has not yet been reported. In this study, we measured the SC spin susceptibility at two crystallographically inequivalent As sites using nuclear magnetic resonance for various magnetic fields. Our experimental results strongly indicate a spin-singlet state in both SC phases. In addition, the antiferromagnetic phase, which appears within the SC phase, only coexists with the LF SC phase; there is no sign of magnetic ordering in the HF SC phase. The present work reveals unique SC properties originating from the locally noncentrosymmetric characteristics. },

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.

The temperature dependence of 1/T1 between 3 and 20 K was similar to that of resistivity, which displays semiconducting behavior. Furthermore, it was found that the energy scales of the transport gap and spin dynamics were comparable. These results suggest a close connection between the mobility of the doped carriers and low-energy spin dynamics, as reported for lightly doped T-type La2−xSrxCuO4. In the OA SC sample, we confirmed the absence of a magnetic order and the linear relation between 1/T1 and T above 10 K.

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.

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.},

The line width of NQR signals in the present lump sample is larger than that in the previous powdered sample. In addition, the transition temperature TN ∼ 0.92 K in the present lump sample is lower than that in the previous powdered sample (∼ 0.95 K). These results suggest that the quality of the present lump sample is worse than that of the previous powdered sample. However, the T-linear behavior of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 was observed below 0.5 K and the value of 1/T1T in both samples is almost the same even though the sample quality and sample geometry are different. This suggests that T-linear behavior in 1/T1 arises from the impurity-robust bulk gapless excitation inherent in YbCuS2 rather than from sample issues such as the sample quality or geometry.},

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.},

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.},

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.

They are known to realize many exotic phenomena, with a dramatic example being recent observations of quantum oscillations and metallic thermal conduction in insulators, implying the emergence of enigmatic charge-neutral fermions. Here, we show that thermal conductivity and specific heat measurements in insulating YbIr3Si7 reveal emergent neutral excitations, whose properties are sensitively changed by a field-driven transition between two antiferromagnetic phases. In the low-field phase, a significant violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law demonstrates that YbIr3Si7 is a charge insulator but a thermal metal. In the high-field phase, thermal conductivity exhibits a sharp drop below 300 mK, indicating a transition from a thermal metal into an insulator/semimetal driven by the magnetic transition. These results suggest that spin degrees of freedom directly couple to the neutral fermions, whose emergent Fermi surface undergoes a field-driven instability at low temperatures.},

abstract = {The mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, such as high-temperature-cuprate, Fe-based, and heavy-fermion superconductors, has been studied as a central issue in condensed-matter physics. Spin fluctuations, instead of phonons, are considered to be responsible for the formation of Cooper pairs, and many efforts have been made to confirm this mechanism experimentally. Although a qualitative consensus seems to have been obtained, experimental confirmation has not yet been achieved. This is owing to a lack of the quantitative comparison between theory and experiments. Here, we show a semiquantitative comparison between the superconducting-transition temperature ( T SC ) and spin fluctuations derived from the NMR experiment on the ferromagnetic (FM) superconductor UCoGe in which the FM fluctuations and superconductivity are tunable by external fields. The enhancement and abrupt suppression of T SC by applied fields, as well as the pressure variation of T SC around the FM criticality are well understood by the change in the FM fluctuations on the basis of the single-band spin-triplet theoretical formalism. The present comparisons strongly support the theoretical formalism of spin-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity, particularly in UCoGe.},

abstract = {UTe2 is a recently discovered promising candidate for a spin-triplet superconductor. In contrast to conventional spin-singlet superconductivity, spin-triplet superconductivity possesses spin and angular momentum degrees of freedom. To detect these degrees of freedom and obtain the solid evidence of spin-triplet superconductivity in UTe2, we have performed 125Te-NMR measurements, which are sensitive to the local spin susceptibility at a nuclear site. We previously reported that the shoulder signal appears in NMR spectra below the superconducting (SC) transition temperature Tc in H || b, and a slight decrease in the Knight shift along the b and c axes (Kb and Kc, respectively) below Tc at a low magnetic field H. Although the decrease in Kc vanished above 5.5 T, the decrease in Kb was independent of H up to 6.5 T. To clarify the origin of the shoulder signal and the trace of the decrease in Kb, we compared the 125Te-NMR spectra obtained when H || b and H || c and measured the 125Te-NMR spectra for H || b up to 14.5 T. The intensity of the shoulder signal observed for H || b has a maximum at ∼6 T and vanishes above 10 T, although the superconductivity is confirmed by the χAC measurements, which can survive up to 14.5 T (maximum H in the present measurement). Moreover, the decrease in Kb in the SC state starts to be small around 7 T and almost zero at 12.5 T. This indicates that the SC spin state gradually changes with the application of H. Meanwhile, in H || c, an unexpected broadening without the shoulder signals was observed below Tc at 1 T, and this broadening was quickly suppressed with increasing H. We construct the H–T phase diagram for H || b and H || c based on the NMR measurements and discuss possible SC states with the theoretical consideration. We suggest that the inhomogeneous SC state characterized by the broadening of the NMR spectrum originates from the spin degrees of freedom.},

The NQR measurements revealed that the first-order quantum phase transition occurs between the FM and the PM states. The nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate 1=T1 exhibited a clear drop at the SC state in the PM phase, whereas it was not detected in the FM phase, which indicates that the superconductivity in the FM phase becomes weaker at the FM critical region due to the presence of the PM SC state.

For x=0.22, structural and antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition temperatures both show minimal changes with pressure up to 2.4 GPa, whereas the superconducting transition temperature Tc increases to twice its former value. In contrast, for x=0.28 near the AFM quantum critical point (QCP), the structural phase transition is quickly suppressed by pressure and Tc reaches a maximum. The analysis of the temperature-dependent nuclear relaxation rate indicates that these contrasting behaviors can be quantitatively explained by a single curve of the Tc dome as a function of Weiss temperature θ, which measures the distance to the QCP. Moreover, the Tc-θ curve under pressure precisely coincides with that with a chemical substitution, which is indicative of the existence of a universal relationship between low-energy AFM fluctuations and superconductivity on BaFe2(As1-xPx)2. © 2019 American Physical Society.},

In OA superconducting samples, no evidence of magnetic order was observed, whereas AS semiconducting samples exhibited evidence of a disordered magnetic state in the measured temperature range between ∼4 and ∼8 K. Therefore, the ground state in LESCO drastically varies with oxidation annealing and the magnetic phase competitively exists with the superconducting (SC) phase. The magnetic phase in the AS LESCO is quite robust against Sr doping, while the SC phase degrades with increasing x. A monotonous decrease of the SC transition temperature from 24.5 K in x = 0.14 to 9.0 K in x = 0.28 suggests the disappearance of the SC phase at x ∼ 0.34. Furthermore, we clarified the simultaneous development of (quasi) static magnetism and the electrical resistivity at a low temperature in AS samples, suggesting the inducement of magnetism by the suppression of carrier mobility. The variation in magnetism due to annealing is discussed from a viewpoint of structural defects, which was previously reported from neutron diffraction measurements. ©2019 The Physical Society of Japan},

Co59-NMR spectra became broader but hardly shifted across the SC transition temperature. The Knight-shift change determined from fitting the spectral peak with a Gaussian was much smaller than the spin part of the Knight shift; this is in good agreement with the spin-triplet pairing suggested from the large upper critical field.

However, the magnetic state in each BL, particularly at the interface, is not yet understood, as experimental techniques applicable to the SL system are limited. Here, we report measurements of Co59 nuclear magnetic resonance, which is a microscopic probe of the magnetic properties inside the target BLs. In the CeCoIn5/YbCoIn5 SL, the low-temperature magnetic fluctuations of the CeCoIn5 BL are weakened as expected from the Rashba spin-orbit effect. However, in the CeCoIn5/CeRhIn5 SL, the fluctuations show an anomalous enhancement below 6 K, highlighting the importance of the magnetic proximity effect occurring near a magnetic-ordering temperature TN∼3 K of the CeRhIn5 BL. We suggest that the magnetic properties of the BLs can be altered by the interfacial interaction, which is an alternative route to modify the magnetic properties. © 2019 American Physical Society.},

abstract = {The discovery in 2000 that the ferromagnetic (FM) compound UGe2 (TCurie = 52 K at ambient pressure) becomes superconducting under a pressure of P = 1.1 GPa until it enters the paramagnetic (PM) phase above Pc = 1.6 GPa was a surprise, despite the fact that such a possibility was emphasized in theory four decades ago. Successive searches for new materials (URhGe and UCoGe) led to the discovery of the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and ferromagnetism at ambient pressure. Furthermore in UCoGe, it was found that SC survives in the PM regime from Pc = 1.1 to 4 GPa. The novelty is that SC also emerges deep inside the FM regime but with strong FM fluctuations. Focus has been on low-temperature experiments under extreme conditions of magnetic field (H), pressure, and uniaxial stress. NQR and NMR experiments are unique tools to understand the interplay between the spin dynamics and the Cooper pairing. We choose to present the SC properties from the knowledge of quasiparticle dressing in the normal phase (renormalized band mass, mB plus the extra dressing originating from FM fluctuations, m++). In UGe2, strong interplay exists between Fermi surface (FS) reconstructions in the cascade of different FM and PM ground states and their magnetic fluctuations. Similar phenomena occur in URhGe and UCoGe but, at first glance, the SC seems to be driven by the FM fluctuations. The weakness of the FM interaction in these two compounds gives the opportunity to observe singular features in magnetic field scans depending on their field orientation with respect to the FM sublattice magnetization (M0). We will show that for UCoGe, which has the smallest ordered moment, a longitudinal field scan (H ∥ M0) leads to a drastic decrease in the FM fluctuations with direct consequences on SC properties such as the upward curvature of the upper critical field. A transverse field scan (H M0) leads to suppression of the Curie temperature, TCurie; the consequence is a boost in FM fluctuations, which leads to a reinforcement of SC. Contrary to the two examples of Ising FM UGe2 and UCoGe, the singularity in URhGe is the weakness of the magnetocrystalline term between the choice of ferromagnetism along the c- or b-axis; the most noteworthy feature is the detection of reentrant SC on each side of the H switch at HR from the c easy axis of magnetization to the b-axis. All the experimental results give evidence that the SC in these three materials originates from the FM fluctuations, which are amplitude modes of magnetic excitations in the FM state. Spin-triplet pairing has been anticipated in the FM superconductors and was actually observed by Knight-shift measurements in the SC state of UCoGe. Their fascinating ð P; T; H Þ phase diagrams are now well established. Of course, a new generation of experiments will elucidate subtle effects by obtaining their SC order parameters. While the FSs of UGe2 have been experimentally well determined, those of URhGe and UCoGe have been poorly determined, and thus a quantitative comparison with band structure calculations cannot be achieved. Up to now, Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements have only given the flavor of the electronic bands at the Fermi level. Discussion is presented on how different theoretical approaches can describe the various phenomena discovered by experimentalists. Following the new hot subject of topological superconductors, proposals have been made for UCoGe, which is a great challenge for ambitious researchers!. © 2019 The Physical Society of Japan},

abstract = {A Co59 nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) was performed on a single-crystalline ferromagnetic (FM) superconductor UCoGe under pressure. The FM phase vanished at a critical pressure Pc, and the NQR spectrum just below Pc showed phase separation of the FM and paramagnetic (PM) phases below Curie temperature TCurie, suggesting first-order FM quantum phase transition (QPT). We found that the internal field was absent above Pc, but the superconductivity is almost unchanged. This result suggests the existence of the nonunitary to unitary transition of the superconductivity around Pc. Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 showed the FM critical fluctuations around Pc, which persist above Pc and are clearly related to superconductivity in the PM phase. This FM QPT is understood to be a weak first order with critical fluctuations. 1/T1 sharply decreased in the superconducting (SC) state above Pc with a single component, in contrast to the two-component 1/T1 in the FM SC state, indicating that the inhomogeneous SC state is a characteristic feature of the FM SC state in UCoGe. © 2019 American Physical Society.},

The NMR and NQR spectra at 5 K can be reproduced with a nonzero in-plane anisotropic parameter η, indicating the breaking of the in-plane fourfold symmetry at the Bi site without any magnetic order, i.e., "the electronic nematic state." In the SC state, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature, 1/T1T, does not change even below Tc, while a clear SC transition was observed with a diamagnetic signal. This observation can be attributed to the strong two dimensionality in BaTi2Bi2O. Comparing the NMR/NQR results among BaTi2Pn2O (Pn=As, Sb, and Bi), it was found that the normal and SC properties of BaTi2Bi2O were considerably different from those of BaTi2Sb2O and BaTi2As2O, which might explain the two-dome structure of Tc in this system. © 2018 American Physical Society.},

For CeCu2Si2, fully-gapped d-wave superconductivity forms in the vicinity of an itinerant three-dimensional heavy-fermion spin-density-wave (SDW) quantum critical point (QCP). Inelastic neutron scattering results highlight that both quantum critical SDW fluctuations as well as Mott-type fluctuations of local magnetic moments contribute to the formation of Cooper pairs in CeCu2Si2. In YbRh2Si2, superconductivity appears to be suppressed at T ⪆ 10 mK by AF order (TN = 70 mK). Ultra-low temperature measurements reveal a hybrid order between nuclear and 4f-electronic spins, which is dominated by the Yb-derived nuclear spins, to develop at TA slightly above 2 mK. The hybrid order turns out to strongly compete with the primary 4f-electronic order and to push the material towards its QCP. Apparently, this paves the way for heavy-fermion superconductivity to form at Tc = 2 mK. Like the pressure – induced QCP in CeRhIn5, the magnetic field – induced one in YbRh2Si2 is of the local Kondo-destroying variety which corresponds to a Mott-type transition at zero temperature. Therefore, these materials form the link between the large family of about fifty low-T unconventional heavy – fermion superconductors and other families of unconventional superconductors with higher Tcs, notably the doped Mott insulators of the cuprates, organic charge-transfer salts and some of the Fe-based superconductors. Our study suggests that heavy-fermion superconductivity near an AF QCP is a robust phenomenon. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.},

The Knight shifts of the Ge and Co sites are well scaled to each other when the magnetic field is parallel to the b or c axis. The hyperfine coupling constants of Ge are estimated to be close to those of Co.
