Strong Longitudinal Magnetic Fluctuations near Critical End Point in UCoAl: A 59Co-NMR Study
Abstract
We report 59Co-NMR measurements in UCoAl where a metamagnetism occurs due to enhancement of ferromagnetism by magnetic field. The metamagnetic transition from a paramagnetic (PM) state to a ferromagnetic state is a first order transition at low temperatures, but it changes to a crossover at high temperatures on crossing the critical end pint (CEP) at TCEP ~ 12 K. The contrasting behavior between the relaxation rates 1/T1 and 1/T2 suggests that the longitudinal magnetic fluctuation of U moment is strongly enhanced especially near the CEP. A wide diffusion of the fluctuation from the CEP can be confirmed even in the PM state where the magnetic transition does not occur.
