Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time in UCoGe
arXiv:2106.10943 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.125143
Abstract
The NMR measurements performed on a single orthorhombic crystal of superconducting ferromagnet UCoGe (Y.Ihara et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. v.105, 206403 (2010)) demonstrate strongly anisotropic magnetic properties of this material. The presented calculations allow to establish the dependence of longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate from temperature and magnetic field. The value 1/T_1T in field perpendicular to spontaneous magnetisation directed along c-axis has maximum in vicinity of Curie temperature whereas it does not reveal similar behaviour in field parallel to the direction of spontaneous magnetisation. Also there was shown that the longitudinal spin-lattice relaxation rate is strongly field dependent when the field directed in b-crystallographic direction but field independent if magnetic field is oriented along a-axis.
