$^{139}$La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements under pressure ($p = 0-2.64$ GPa) have been carried out to investigate the static and dynamic magnetic properties of the itinerant ferromagnet LaCrGe$_3$. $^{139}$La-NMR spectra for all measured pressures in the ferromagnetically ordered state show a large shift due to the internal field induction $|$$B_{rm int}$$|$ $sim$ 4 T at the La site produced by Cr ordered moments. The change in $B_{rm int}$ by less than 5% with $p$ up to 2.64~GPa indicates that the Cr 3$d$ moments are robust under pressure. The temperature dependence of NMR shift and $B_{rm int}$ suggest that the ferromagnetic order develops below $sim$ 50~K under higher pressures in a magnetic field of $sim$ 7.2 T. Based on the analysis of NMR data using the self-consistent-renormalization (SCR) theory, the spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state well above $T_{rm C}$ are revealed to be three dimensional ferromagnetic throughout the measured $p$ region.

LaCrGe$_3$ is an itinerant ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of $T_{rm c}$ = 85 K and exhibits an avoided ferromagnetic quantum critical point under pressure through a modulated antiferromagnetic phase as well as tri-critical wing structure in its temperature-pressure-magnetic field ($T$-$p$-$H$) phase diagram. In order to understand the static and dynamical magnetic properties of LaCrGe$_3$, we carried out $^{139}$La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. Based on the analysis of NMR data, using the self-consistent-renomalization (SCR) theory, the spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state are revealed to be isotropic ferromagnetic and three dimensional (3D) in nature. Moreover, the system is found to follow the generalized Rhodes-Wohfarth relation which is expected in 3D itinerant ferromagnetic systems. As compared to other similar itinerant ferromagnets, the Cr 3$d$ electrons and their spin fluctuations are characterized to have a relatively high degree of localization in real space.
$^{59}$Co and $^{31}$P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in external magnetic and zero magnetic fields have been performed to investigate the magnetic properties of the A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) CaCo$_2$P$_2$. NMR data, especially, the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rates 1/$T_1$ exhibiting a clear peak, provide clear evidence for the AFM transition at a Neel temperature of $T_{rm N}sim$110~K. The magnetic fluctuations in the paramagnetic state were found to be three-dimensional ferromagnetic, suggesting ferromagnetic interaction between Co spins in the ${it ab}$ plane characterize the spin correlations in the paramagnetic state. In the AFM state below $T_{rm N}$, we have observed $^{59}$Co and $^{31}$P NMR signals under zero magnetic field. From $^{59}$Co NMR data, the ordered magnetic moments of Co are found to be in $ab$ plane and are estimated to be 0.35 $mu_{rm B}$ at 4.2 K. Furthermore, the external field dependence of $^{59}$Co NMR spectrum in the AFM state suggests a very weak magnetic anisotropy of the Co ions and also provides microscopic evidence of canting the Co ordered moments along the external magnetic field directions. The magnetic state of the Co ions in CaCo$_2$P$_2$ is well explained by the local moment picture in the AFM state, although the system is metallic as seen by $1/T_1T$ = constant behavior.
We have performed an extensive pressure-dependent structural, spectroscopic, and electrical transport study of LaCrSb$_3$. The ferromagnetic phase (T$_C$ = 120 K at p = 0 GPa) is fully suppressed by p = 26.5 GPa and the Cr-moment decreases steadily with increasing pressure. The unit cell volume decreases smoothly up to p = 55 GPa. We find that the bulk modulus and suppression of the magnetism are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, but the Cr-moment decreases smoothly with pressure, in contrast to steplike drops predicted by theory. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature appears to be driven by the Cr-moment.
Electrical resistivity rho(T) of the 5f ferromagnet UGa2 was investigated for single-crystal samples as a function of pressure and magnetic field. The Curie temperature monotonously increases from T$_{C}$ = 124 K under quasi-hydrostatic pressure up to 154 K at p = 14.2 GPa, after which it turns down steeply and reaches T$_{C}$ = 147 K at p = 15.2 GPa. At 20 GPa the compound is already non-magnetic. This dramatic variation is compatible with exchange interactions mediated by the 5f hybridization with the non-f states. The external pressure first enhances the exchange coupling of the 5f moments, but eventually suppresses the order by washing out the 5f moments. Such a two-band model is adequate for the weakly delocalized 5f states. The spin-disorder resistivity, which produces very high rho-values (300 muOmega.cm) is gradually suppressed by the pressure. In the paramagnetic state, this leads to a crossover from initial negative to positive drho/dT.
A $^{59}$Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement was performed on the single-crystalline ferromagnetic (FM) superconductor UCoGe under a pressure of 1.09 GPa, where the FM state is suppressed and superconductivity occurs in the paramagnetic (PM) state, to study the superconducting (SC) state in the PMstate. $^{59}$Co-NMR spectra became broader but hardly shifted across the SC transition temperature. The Knight-shift change determined from fitting the spectral peak with a Gaussian was much smaller than the spin part of the Knight shift; this is in good agreement with the spin-triplet pairing suggested from the large upper critical field. The spectrum broadening in the SC state cannot be attributed to the SC diamagnetic effect but is related to the properties of spin-triplet superconductivity. The origins of the broadening are discussed herein.
