抄録

We report on a novel phase transition at T=0.9 K in the Ce-based filled-skutterudite compound CeOs4Sb12 via measurements of the nuclear-spin lattice relaxation rate 1⁄T1 and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectrum of Sb nuclei. The temperature (T) dependence of 1⁄T1 behaves as if approaching closely an antiferromagnetic (AFM) quantum critical point (QCP), following the relation 1⁄T1T⁄(TTN)1⁄2 with TN=0.06 K in the range of T=1.3–25 K. The onset of either the spin-density-wave (SDW) or charge-density-wave (CDW) order at T0=0.9 K, that is, of the first order, is evidenced by a broadening of the NQR spectrum and a marked reduction in 1⁄T1 just below T0. The f-electron-derived correlated band realized in CeOs4Sb12 is demonstrated to give rise to the novel phase transition on the verge of AFM QCP.
