Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have carried out nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on PrT2Al20 that exhibits various ground states, such as, superconductivity, quadrupole order, and non-Fermi liquid state, etc. The present studies evidence that the crystal electric field (CEF) state is composed of the non-magnetic doublet CEF ground and the magnetic triplet CEF 1st excited states. Temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate of PrNb2Al20 clearly shows that the characteristic temperature for the cf mixing between conduction electron and f-electron states is estimated to be 80 Kelvin. Systematic analyses for other PrT2Al20 strongly suggest that the various ground state properties come from the quasi-quintet CEF state owing to the competition between the cf-mixing and the nonmagnetic doublet CEF ground state.
