RESUMO
(93)Nb NMR studies were carried out for a single crystal of NbSe(2) at 73.328 MHz in the temperature range 9-300 K to investigate the normal and charge density wave (CDW) states. Detailed analysis of the NMR line shape of the central transition using a classical incommensurate model reveals the change in the conduction electron spin dynamics from above T(CDW). An increase of the Knight shift below T(CDW) reflects modification to the uniform part of the conduction electron density of states. As suggested theoretically, the Knight shift distribution is found to be directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the CDW. The results further indicate an incommensurate CDW state in 2H-NbSe(2). Analysis of the NMR spectra using the McMillan incommensurate model suggests a large value of the discommensuration parameter (γ) which is almost temperature independent, in contrast to the much smaller value previously reported in the case of 2H-TaSe(2).
RESUMO
Magnetization, resistivity and (11)B, (59)Co NMR measurements have been performed on the Pauli paramagnet [Formula: see text], and the superconductors [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] K) and [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] K). The site selective NMR experiment reveals the multiband nature of the Fermi surface in these systems. The temperature independent Knight shift and 1/T 1 T clearly indicate the absence of correlated low energy magnetic spin-fluctuations in the normal state, which is in contrast to other Fe-based pnictides. The density of states (DOS) of Co 3d electrons has been enhanced in superconducting [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with respect to the non superconducting reference compound [Formula: see text]. The occurrence of superconductivity is related to the DOS enhancement.
RESUMO
We report resistivity, magnetization and (19)F NMR results in a polycrystalline sample of SmFeAsO(0.86)F(0.14). The resistivity and magnetization data show a sharp drop at 48 K indicating a superconducting transition. The nuclear spin-lattice rate (1/T(1)) and spin-spin relaxation rate (1/T(2)) clearly show the existence of a structural phase transition near 163 K in the sample, which also undergoes a superconducting transition. This finding creates interest in exploring whether this is unique for Sm based systems or is also present in other rare-earth based 1111 superconductors.

(75)As and (31)P NMR studies are performed in PrCoAsO and NdCoPO respectively. The Knight shift data in PrCoAsO indicate the presence of an antiferromagnetic interaction between the 4f moments along the c axis in the ferromagnetic state of Co 3d moments. We propose a possible spin structure in this system. The (75)As quadrupolar coupling constant, νQ, increases continuously with decrease of temperature and is found to vary linearly with the intrinsic spin susceptibility, K(iso). This indicates the possibility of the presence of a coupling between charge density and spin density fluctuations. Further, the (31)P NMR Knight shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1) in the paramagnetic state of NdCoPO indicate that the differences of LaCoPO and NdCoPO from SmCoPO are due to the decrement of the interlayer separation and not due to the moments of the 4f electrons. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) in NdCoPO shows weak anisotropy at 300 K. Using the self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory of itinerant ferromagnets, it is shown that in the ab plane, the spin fluctuations are three-dimensional ferromagnetic in nature. From SCR theory the important spin-fluctuation parameters (T0, TA, F¯1) are evaluated. The similarities and dissimilarities of the NMR results in As and P based systems with different rare earths are also discussed.

We report (11)B and (195)Pt NMR Knight shift K and spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) in CePt(2)B(2)C in the range 4-315 K. The quadrupolar coupling constant, ν(Q) for boron nuclei is 790 ± 10 kHz. The change of hyperfine field, H(hf), is observed below 30 K in the K versus susceptibility, χ, plot. The calculated value of H(hf) at the (11)B ((195)Pt) is 0.156 (6.86) kOe/µ(B) in the range 30-300 K and â¼0 (0.22) kOe/µ(B) below 30 K. The 1/T(1) versus T curve shows some exotic behavior. The Ce 4f spin contribution to the nuclear relaxation rate (1/T(1f)) in each case is obtained by subtracting the T(1K)(-1) estimated from its La analog, i.e. LaPt(2)B(2)C. In the case of (11)B resonance, in the temperature range of 300-100 K, (1/T(1f)) is independent of T, suggesting a Curie-Weiss behavior of the imaginary part of the dynamic susceptibility. It then shows a slow but continuous increment in the range 100-70 K, indicating a signature of the development of short-range magnetic correlation among the Ce 4f spins. Below 70 K, this enhancement of 1/T(1f) is completely suppressed and it decreases sharply, indicating a suppression of the effect of magnetic correlation, due to the dominance of the Kondo effect over the RKKY interaction. 1/T(1f), follows â¼T(α), with an exponent αâ¼0.7 in the range 4-30 K for (195)Pt and in the range 8-30 K for (11)B resonance. This is a characteristics of a non-Fermi-liquid like behavior. However, in the case of (11)B, there is again a clear change in the slope of the 1/T(1f) versus T curve below 8 K, with the value of α = 1.0, as if the behavior of the conduction electrons approaches towards a Fermi liquid, when probed near the (11)B site.
