Abstract

We report on a cooperative phenomenon of ferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity (SC) in UGe2 through the measurements of 73Ge nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) under pressure (P). The NQR spectra evidenced phase separation into ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases in the vicinity of Pc 1.5 GPa, pointing to a first-order transition. The measurements of nuclear-spin-lattice-relaxation-rate 1/T1 revealed that SC emerges under the background of ferromagnetism, but not of the paramagnetic phase.
