Abstract

We performed As-NMR measurements to investigate the normal-state magnetic properties of CeRhAs, a recently-discovered heavy-fermion superconductor. The magnitude and temperature dependence of the Knight shift at the As(2) site indicate easy-plane-type magnetic anisotropy in CeRhAs. With regard to spin fluctuations, the temperature dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate arising from the 4 electrons decreases from high-temperature constant behavior on cooling at 40~K, which is typical behavior of heavy-fermion systems. In addition, becomes constant at low temperatures, suggesting spatially two-dimensional antiferromagnetic fluctuations. Two-dimensional magnetic correlations in the real space are quite rare among heavy-fermion superconductors, and they may be a key factor in the unique superconducting multi-phase in CeRhAs.
