We prepared single crystals of Yb2Ni12P7 using a Sn-flux method and measured their resistivity under hydrostatic pressure up to 8 GPa. At ambient pressure, the magnetic part of resistivity rho(mag)(T) shows a peak around T-max similar to 100 K and T-2 dependence below the characteristic temperature of the Fermi liquid, T-FL = 3 K. When pressure increases up to 2.06 GPa, the value of rho(mag)(T) above T-max decreases slightly but rho(mag) below T-max increases slightly. TFL decreases with increasing pressure, and is expected to become zero at 2.5 GPa. Around this pressure, the coefficient of T-2 in rho(mag) significantly increases, suggesting the existence of a quantum critical point. Above 2.5 GPa, overall rho(mag) gradually decreases with increasing pressure up to 6 GPa, but it below 15.5 K increases above 6 GPa.

We report the specific heat measurement of single crystalline Ce3Pd20Si6 and the resultant magnetic phase diagram for the direction of B//[100]. In zero field, we confirmed two successive phase transitions at T = 0.24 K and 0.4 K. The magnetic phase diagram clearly shows a phase boundary of paramagnetic phase I, quadrupole ordered phase II and II'.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings)

We have carried out 121,123Sb nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on ReRu4Sb12 (Re = La, Ce and Pr) to investigate an anomalous behavior of the nuclear spin-echo relaxation rate 1/T2 observed in ReOs4Sb12. The full width at half maximum of the NQR spectrum shows a step-like increase below 130 K with decreasing temperature. Temperature dependence of 1/T2 also shows a divergence at ∼115 K whereas the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 does not show any anomaly. These results are caused by a distribution of the electric field gradient (EFG) and its fluctuations, which might arise from a rattling motion of the rare earth ion centered in the cage which consists of twelve Sb and/or a small deformation of the cage. The EFG fluctuations observed in ReOs4Sb12 and ReRu 4Sb12 at T ∼ 120 K originates from an unique crystal structure of the filled skutterudite with oversized Sb-cage. © 2011 The Physical Society of Japan.

We have studied quadrupole ordering and rattling in clathrate compound Pr3Pd20Ge6 using ultrasonic measurements. The softening were observed in temperature dependence of elastic constants C-11, (C-11 - C-12)/2 and C-44. The C-11 and (C-11 - C-12)/2 show minimums at 250 mK indicating a transition point to an antiferroquadrupole ordered phase due to a F3 doublet ground state at 8c site. Furthermore, the C-11, (C-11 - C-12)/2 and C-44 exhibit discontinuitive anomalies at 60 mK revealing a ferroquadrupole ordering due to a F-5 triplet ground state at 4a site. Two distinctive ultrasonic dispersions caused by thermally activated F-5-type rattling were observed in C-44 around 15 K and 25 K.

In order to investigate ordered phases revealed at low temperatures in clathrate compound Pr3Pd20Si6, we have performed ultrasonic measurements using a single crystal in magnetic fields at low temperatures. Temperature dependence of elastic constant C-11 and C-L[1 (1) over bar0] = (C-11 + C-12 + C-2(44))/2 shows the anomalies at about 150 mK in zero field. Magnetic phase diagrams are determined by measuring C-11 in H parallel to [001] and C-L[1 (1) over bar0] in H parallel to [111]. The magnetic phase diagrams along the three principal axes indicate a closed loop and a strong magnetic anisotropy. This result suggests that antiferroquadrupole ordering appears at low temperatures in Pr3Pd20Si6.

Ultrasonic measurements on a Pr0.55Nd0.45Os4Sb12 single crystal for temperature down to 20mK and frequencies up to 245 MHz were performed in order to investigate off-center rattling motion of rare-earth ions. The elastic constant C-11 exhibits double ultrasonic dispersions at similar to 15 and similar to 40 K, which are similar to the features found in NdOs4Sb12. The estimated activation energy E-1 = 240 K corresponding to the 40 K-dispersion, possesses an intermediate value between PrOs4Sb12 (E-1 = 115 K) and NdOs4Sb12 (E-1 = 337 K). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Low-temperature elastic properties of the clathrate compound Ce3Pd20Si6 were investigated using ultrasonic measurements. Pronounced softening of elastic constants (C-11 - C-12)/2 and C-44 with decreasing temperature indicates a precursor of electric quadrupole ordering due to it Gamma(8) quartet ground sate with an orbital degeneracy for 8c site of it Ce ion. A minimum of (C-11 - C-12)/2 at T-C = 170 mK indicates a transition from paramagnetic phase I to an ordered phase III. Applied magnetic fields induce an antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) ordered phase II with highly anisotropic character depending on the field direction, which resembles the AFQ phase with O-xy-type order parameter in CeB6 with the Gamma(8) ground sate. The order parameter of the phase III may be characterized by either magnetic dipole or magnetic octupole. The Gamma(7) ground state at 4a site may fall into it singlet screened by conduction electrons at low temperatures Without long-range magnetic ordering.

Using a low temperature x-ray diffractometer, we studied superconductivity materials, optimally doped and underdoped YBCOs and PrOs(4)Sb(12) between 0.1 K and 300 K. At several temperatures, whole profiles of the x-ray reflection peak were measured and refined by Rietveld analysis. By Rietveld analysis, we found that Pr atoms in PrOs(4)Sb(12) are still oscillating at an amplitude of about 0.1 angstrom at 0.18 K. For some reflection planes, x-ray diffraction measurement with a small step size and a long stepping time was performed to accumulate more counts at certain temperatures. The lattice constant d of optimally doped YBCO (OPT YBCO) shows anomalous behaviours at around the superconductivity transition temperature Tc and around spin gap temperature T*. In OPT YBCO, the intensity of the reflection spectrum shows a clear anomaly at around Tc.

According to conventional theories of strongly correlated electron systems, the natural consequence of strong hybridization between f-electrons and conduction electrons is the opening of a gap in both charge and spin channels. Despite their importance, there are few experimental observations of such gaps in real materials. Recently the charge gap in d- and f-electron systems has been investigated using optical studies. However, due to the q=0 limitation of the technique, optical studies cannot give information on the wave vector dependence of the gap. Inelastic neutron scattering is a unique technique and provides direct information on the spin gap energy as well as its wave vector and temperature dependence. Further, knowledge of the wave vector dependence of the gap, in particular the spin gap, provides important information about the microscopic mechanism of the gap formation. Recently we have investigated the spin gap formation, and its relation to the charge gap, in several Ce, Yb and U based compounds using inelastic neutron scattering techniques. We review here the nature of the spin gap in CeT4Sb12 (T = Ru, Os and Fe), CeRhAs and U2-xThxRu2Sn compounds based on our recent neutron scattering studies. We compare the magnitude of the spin gaps we have measured in this way with that of the charge gaps measured in optical studies. We have found a universal scaling relation between the spin gap energy and the Kondo temperature (T-K) for many strongly correlated electron systems and the results are discussed.

We report nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on Ru-sites of filled skutterudite compounds RRuR12 (R = La, Nd, Sm) in zero magnetic field. For NdRu4P12, the Ru-101-NQR signal disappears below T-C = 1.6 K, which is indicative of the transformation into the ferromagnetically ordered ground state. For SmRu4P12, a single Ru-101-NQR line splits into two lines below the metal-insulator transition temperature T-MI = 16.5 K with the intensity ratio of 3 : 1. This result gives evidence that there are two inequivalent Ru-sites with different electric field gradient. The intensity ratio leads to a conclusion that the symmetry is lowered below T-MI from a cubic Im (3) over bar space group to a trigonal M one. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
