We have synthesized various samples of the $x=2/3$ phase of sodium cobaltate Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ and performed X-ray powder diffractions spectra to compare the diffraction with the structure proposed previously from NMR/NQR experiments [H. Alloul \emph{et al.}, EPL \textbf{85}, 47006 (2009)]. Rietveld analysis of the data are found in perfect agreement with those, and confirm the concentration x=2/3 obtained in the synthesis procedure. They even give indications on the atomic displacements of Na inside the unit cell. The detailed NQR data allow us to identify the NQR transitions and electric field gradient (EFG) parameters for 4 cobalt sites and 3 Na sites. The spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates are found much smaller for the non-magnetic Co$^{3+}$ sites than for the magnetic sites on which the holes are delocalized. The atomic ordering of the Na layers is therefore at the source of this ordered distribution of cobalt charges. The method used here to resolve the Na ordering and the subsequent Co charge order can be used valuably for other concentrations of Na.

本文报道了重费米子(HF)化合物CeRh $_{1-x}$ Ir $_{x}$ In $_5$通过$^{115}$ In核四极共振(NQR)实验的反铁磁(AFM)自旋涨落和非常规超导电性(SC)的系统演化.核自旋-晶格弛豫速率$1/T_1$的测量揭示了AFM自旋涨落的显着发展,作为一个结果,随着Rh含量的增加,接近AFM有序状态。超导转变温度$T_{\rm c}$和能隙$Δ_0$分别从CeIrIn $_5$中的$T_{\rm c} = 0.4$ K和$2Δ_0/k_{\rm B}T_{\rm c} = 5$急剧增加到CeRh $_{0.3}$ Ir $_{0.7}$ In $_5$中的$T_{\rm c} = 1.2$ K和$2Δ_0/k_{\rm B}T_{\rm c} = 8.3$。目前的工作表明,AFM的量子临界点附近的原子力显微镜自旋波动确实是负责强耦合的非常规SC与线节点的间隙功能在HF化合物的发病。
Weak Magnetic Order in the Bilayered-hydrate Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}\cdot y$H$_{2}$O Structure Probed by Co Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance - Proposed Phase Diagram in Superconducting Na$_x$CoO$_{2} \cdot$ $y$H$_2$O
We report on the 63/65Cu-nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies of trivalent Yb zigzag chain compound YbCuS2. Sharp NQR signals were observed in the paramagnetic (PM) state. Below TO = 0.95 K, the multi peaks induced by the internal magnetic fields arising from the antferromagnetic (AFM) ordered moments appear and coexist with the PM signal down to 0.85 K, evidencing the first-order AFM phase transition at TO. In addition, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 abruptly decreases below TO and shows the T-linear behavior below 0.5 K. The significant lar…
Novel Superconducting Characteristics and Unusual Normal-State Properties in Iron-based Pnictide Superconductors: 57Fe-NMR and 75As-NQR/NMR studies in REFeAsO_1-y (RE=La,Pr,Nd) and Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2
利用$^{57}$ Fe-NMR和$^{75}$ As-NQR/NMR研究了铁基磷属元素化物超导体REFeAsO $_{1-y}$(RE=La,Pr,Nd)和Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$($T_{c}=$ 38 K)的新颖超导特性和异常正常态性质.在$_{0.7}$的超导态($T_{c}=$ 28 K),$^{57}$的Fe-Knight位移的自旋分量在低温下几乎为零,这为自旋-单重态Cooper配对形成超导态提供了有力的证据. LaFeAsO $_{0.7}$和Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$中的核自旋-晶格弛豫速率$(1/T_{1})$表现出类似$T^{3}$的依赖性,在$T_{c}$以下没有相干峰,表明在这些Fe基磷属元素化合物中通常实现非常规的超导态。所有这些事件$T_c$以下一直认为在扩展的s $_{\pm}$波配对与费米面之间的顺序参数的符号反转。在正常状态下,$1/T_1T$显着减少后冷却的Fe和As位的LaFeAsO $_{0.7}$。相反,在Ba $_{0.6}$ K $_{0.4}$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$中,它在冷却时逐渐增加。尽管这些化合物的超导性质之间的相似性,观察到一个关键的差异,在其正常状态下的属性取决于电子或空穴是否掺杂到FeAs层。这些结果可能为铁基…
$^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements have been carried out to investigate the magnetic and electronic properties of the filled skutterudite metallic compound SrFe$_4$As$_{12}$. The temperature dependence of Knight shift $K$ determined by the NQR spectrum under a small magnetic field ($\le$ 0.5 T) shows the similar temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility $χ$ which exhibits a broad maximum at $T^\ast$ $\sim$ 50 K. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature, 1/$T_1T$, increases with decreasing temperature…

We report a combined $^{115}$In NQR, $^{51}$V NMR and $μ$SR spectroscopic study of the low-temperature magnetic properties of InCu$_{2/3}$V$_{1/3}$O$_3$, a quasi-two dimensional (2D) compound comprising in the spin sector a honeycomb lattice of antiferromagnetically coupled spins $S=1/2$ associated with Cu$^{2+}$ ions. Despite substantial experimental and theoretical efforts, the ground state of this material was has not been ultimately identified. In particular, two characteristic temperatures of about $\sim 40$ K and $\sim 20$ K manifesting themselves as anomalies in different magnetic measu…
We present nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements performed on single crystalline \ccag{}, a member of a recently discovered family of heavy fermion materials Ce$_2M$Al$_7$Ge$_4$ ($M$ = Co, Ir, Ni, or Pd). Previous measurements indicated a strong Kondo interaction as well as magnetic order below $T_M = 1.8$ K. Our NMR spectral measurements show that the Knight shift $K$ is proportional to the bulk magnetic susceptibility $χ$ at high temperatures. A clear Knight shift anomaly ($K \not\propto χ$) is observed at coherence temperatures $T^* \sim 17.5$ …
A classical-quantum chain composed of regularly alternating Ising and Heisenberg spins is rigorously solved by considering two distinct local anisotropy axes of the Ising spins. The ground-state phase diagram and magnetization curves are examined depending on a spatial orientation of the applied magnetic field. The phase diagram totally consists of four distinct phases and a few macroscopically degenerate points, where an outstanding coexistence of perfect order and complete disorder occurs within the so-called 'half-fire, half-ice' state. The zero-temperature magnetization curves generally ex…
Ferromagnetism and large negative magnetoresistance in Pb doped Bi-Sr-Co-O misfit-layer compound
研究了Pb取代Bi-Sr-Co-O错配层化合物的铁磁性和伴随的大的负磁电阻。(Bi,Pb)${}_2$ Sr ${}_{3}$ Co ${}_2$ O ${}_9$(它被认为是Bi ${}_2$ Sr ${}_2$ CaCu ${}_2$ O ${}_{8+δ}$的Co类似物)最近的结构分析揭示它具有包括CoO ${}_2$六方层的更复杂的结构[T. Yamamoto { \it等人},JPN. J. Appl. Phys. { \bf 39}(2000)L747]。Pb取代Bi不仅将空穴引入到导电CoO ${}_2$层中,而且还产生一定量的局部自旋。在$T$ = 3.2 K时出现铁磁转变,沿$c$轴的自发磁化强度很小,在转变温度附近观察到大的各向异性负磁电阻。该化合物是第一个在二维金属六方CoO ${}_2$层中显示铁磁长程序的例子。
Muon spin rotation ($μ$SR) and inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) were used to investigate the superconducting properties of the filled-skutterudite compound LaRu$_{4}$As$_{12}$. A two-gap isotropic ($s+s$)-wave model can explain the temperature dependence of the superfluid density. Zero field $μ$SR measurements confirm that the time-reversal symmetry does not break upon entering the superconducting state. The measurements of lattice dynamics at 2, 20 and 300 K revealed temperature dependencies of the phonon modes that do not follow strictly a hardening of phonon frequencies upon cooling as expe…
We report the thermoelectric (TE) properties of Na$_{0.74}$Co$_{0.95}$Nb$_{0.05}$O$_{2}$ in the temperature range $300-1200$ K, as a potential candidate for p-type thermoelectric material. The experimental values of Seebeck coefficient (S) are $ \sim $ $82-121$ $ μ$V/K measured in the temperature range $300-620$ K. The positive values of S in the entire temperature range indicates p-type behaviour of the compound. At 300 K the experimental value of thermal conductivity ($ κ$) is $ \sim $ 1.88 W/m-K that increases up to $ \sim $ 420 K, then decreases till 620 K with corresponding value $ \sim $…
