説明

We have carried out 31P-NMR study on a new intermediate-valence compound YbFe4P12 with a filled skutterudite structure which has heavy fermion-like properties below ∼10 K. The Knight shift has a very small value less than 0.05%, and the linewidth exhibits a monotonic increase without exhibiting any singular behavior down to 0.5 K. The nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate 1⁄T1T below ∼50 K strongly depends on both the temperature T and applied magnetic field H and follows the power-law relation 1⁄T1T=AT−α over one decade. The power α∼0.1 at 7.0 T increases with decreasing H and takes the maximum value of \\simeq0.7 at 0.2 T, which is close to the value 3/4 expected for the non-Fermi liquid (NFL) state associated with antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. We suggest that YbFe4P12 is an interesting material in which the NFL-like behavior occurs below a rather high temperature of ∼10 K, and a magnetic field of about 0.2 T is sufficient to bring it to its quantum critical point.
