Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed at microscopic understanding of novel quantum phenomena caused by strong electronic correlation in transition-metal or rare-earth compounds, when they are placed in extreme environments such as strong magnetic field, high pressure, or very low temperatures, by using nuclear magnetic resonance technique. Regarding low dimensional spin systems with frustration, we succeeded in observing magnetization plateaus, quantization of magnetization in strong magnetic fields, and spin-nematic correlation caused by bound pairs of magnetic excitations. Concerning Pr compounds with non-magnetic doublet crystalline field ground state, we obtained microscopic direct evidence for symmetry breaking due to quarupole order and quantum phase transition between different order parameters induced by very small magnetic fields.
