Research Abstract	1.PrOs_4Sb_<12>がPr化合物としては初めての重い電子超伝導体であることが2002年に見出された。早速、単結晶試料を用いて本系の研究をスタートした。 (1)超伝導相の基本物性を比熱測定により調べた。超伝導転移に二段の異常が存在することを確認し、その磁場温度相図を明らかにした。比熱のとびの磁場依存から、熱力学的関係式を利用して、超伝導相の磁場による破壊の特徴を調べた。超伝導対称性の特徴をつかむためのmuSR法による測定も開始した。 (2)超伝導発現の背景にある常伝導相の物性についても比熱を中心に調べた。その異常な側面が明らかとなって来た。約4テスラ以上の高磁場下で、磁場誘起の秩序相が存在していることを、比熱測定により見出した。この相は、さらに高磁場側(約14テスラ以上)で消失する。量子振動(dHvA効果)測定から、この高磁場領域では、Prイオンの4f電子は比較的よく局在していることが示唆されていることをふまえ、可能な結晶場モデルを絞り込んだ。一重項基底状態と磁気的三重項励起状態の組合わせが、現時点では、もっとも合理的に各種物理量を説明することと、このモデルに基づきながら、磁場中で期待される準位交差近傍での四極子自由度の凍結が、この磁場誘起秩序相の起源であることを主張した。その後、秩序相内で中性子散乱実験を行い、観測された磁気構造が、上記のモデルでうまく記述できることを示した。このことは、四極子自由度の揺らぎが超伝導の背景に存在し、この揺らぎが、この系での重い準粒子形成や、クーパー対形成に重要な役割を果している可能性を強く示唆している。
