説明

121,123 Sb nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a high-quality single crystalline PrOs 4 Sb 12 have been carried out in magnetic fields up to 98 kOe and in the temperature range of 0.4–30 K. From the analysis of the 121 Sb Knight shift ( K ) and magnetic susceptibility at H ≈90 kOe, the transferred hyperfine coupling constants ( A THF ) are obtained. The Sb isotropic hyperfine coupling constant and anisotropic hyperfine coupling tensor are determined as ≈27.6 Oe/µ B and ≈(149.9,42.3,-192.2) Oe/µ B , respectively. The anisotropic part originates from the spin–dipolar field due to the local spin density at Sb 5 p orbital transferred through the hybridization with 4 f electrons. The results are consistent with the Sb 12 5 p molecular orbital with a u symmetry predicted from the band structure calculation. A THF for H ∥[001] is dependent on the magnetic field, suggesting the coupling of the Sb nuclear dipole moment with not only dipole moments but also octupole moments of the Pr 4 f electrons with...
