Evidence for gradual evolution of low-energy fluctuations underlying the first-order structural and valence order in YbPd

R. Nakanishi, T. Fujii, Y. Nakai +6

The valence orders at $T_a=125$ K and $T_b=105$ K in the cubic compound YbPd have been investigated by ${}^{105}$Pd-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. Significant decreas…
