The transferred hyperfine interaction between nuclear and electron spins in an heavy fermion material depends on the hybridization between the $f$-electron orbitals and those surrounding a distant nucleus. In CeMIn$_5$ (M=Rh, Ir, Co), both the hyperfine coupling to the two indium sites as well as the crystalline electric field at the Ce are strongly dependent on the transition metal. We measure a series of CeRh$_{1-x}$Ir$_x$In$_5$ crystals and find that the hyperfine coupling reflects the orbital anisotropy of the ground state Ce 4$f$ wavefunction. These findings provide direct proof that the localized to itinerant transition is dominated by hybridization out of the Ce-In plane in this system.

We studied the anisotropy of the superconducting upper critical field $H_{rm c2}$ in the heavy-fermion superconductor UTe$_2$ under hydrostatic pressure by magnetoresistivity measurements. In agreement with previous experiments we confirm that superc
onductivity disappears near a critical pressure $p_{rm c} approx 1.5$~GPa, and a magnetically ordered state appears. The unusual $H_{rm c2}(T)$ at low temperatures for $H parallel a$ suggests that the multiple superconducting phases which appear under pressure have quite different $H_{rm c2}$. For a field applied along the hard magnetization $b$ axis $H_{rm c2} (0)$ is glued to the metamagnetic transition $H_{rm m}$ which is suppressed near $p_{rm c}$. The suppression of $H_{rm m}$ with pressure follows the decrease of temperature $T_{chi}^{rm max}$, at the maximum in the susceptibility along $b$. The strong reinforcement of $H_{rm c2}$ at ambient pressure for $H parallel b$ above 16~T is rapidly suppressed under pressure due to the increase of $T_{rm sc}$ and the decrease of $H_{rm m}$. The change in the hierarchy of the anisotropy of $H_{rm c2}(0)$ on approaching $p_{rm c}$ points out that the $c$ axis becomes the hard magnetization axis.
We have measured susceptibility, specific heat, resistivity, and thermopower of CaCu$_3$Ti$_{4-x}$Ru$_x$O$_{12}$ and CaCu$_{3-y}$Mn$_y$Ru$_4$O$_{12}$, and have found that CaCu$_3$Ru$_4$O$_{12}$ can be regarded as a heavy-fermion oxide in d-electron s
ystems. The Kondo temperature is near 200 K, and the susceptibility (1.4$times10^{-3}$ emu/Cu mol) and the electron specific heat coefficient (28 mJ/Cu molK$^2$) are moderately enhanced. The resistivity is proportional to $T^2$ at low temperatures, and satisfies the Kadowaki-Woods relation. The heavy-fermion state comes from the interaction between the localized moment of Cu 3d and the conduction electron of Ru 4d. An insulator-metal transition occurs between $x=1.5$ and 4 in CaCu$_3$Ti$_{4-x}$Ru$_x$O$_{12}$, which can be regarded as a transition from magnetic insulator to heavy-fermion metal.
The study of strong electron correlations in transition metal oxides with modern microscopy and diffraction techniques unveiled a fascinating world of nanosize textures in the spin, charge, and crystal structure. Examples range from high $T_c$ superc
onducting cuprates and nickelates, to hole doped manganites and cobaltites. However, in many cases the appearance of these textures is accompanied with glassiness and multiscale/multiphase effects, which complicate significantly their experimental verification. Here, we demonstrate how nuclear magnetic resonance may be uniquely used to probe nanosize orbital textures in magnetic transition metal oxides. As a convincing example we show for the first time the detection of nanoscale orbital phase separation in the ground state of the ferromagnetic insulator La$_{0.875}$Sr$_{0.125}$MnO$_3$.
We report measurements of the physical properties and electronic structure of the hexagonal compounds Yb2Ni12Pn7 (Pn = P, As) by measuring the electrical resistivity, magnetization, specific heat and partial fluorescence yield x-ray absorption spectr
oscopy (PFY-XAS). These demonstrate a crossover upon reducing the unit cell volume, from an intermediate valence state in Yb2Ni12As7 to a heavy-fermion paramagnetic state in Yb2Ni12P7, where the Yb is nearly trivalent. Application of pressure to Yb2Ni12P7 suppresses T_FL, the temperature below which Fermi liquid behavior is recovered, suggesting the presence of a quantum critical point (QCP) under pressure. However, while there is little change in the Yb valence of Yb2Ni12P7 up to 30 GPa, there is a strong increase for Yb2Ni12As7 under pressure, before a near constant value is reached. These results indicate that any magnetic QCP in this system is well separated from strong valence fluctuations. The pressure dependence of the valence and lattice parameters of Yb2Ni12As7 are compared and at 1 GPa, there is an anomaly in the unit cell volume as well as a change in the slope of the Yb valence, indicating a correlation between structural and electronic changes.
Spin relaxation in a quantum Hall ferromagnet, where filling is $ u=1, 1/3, 1/5,...$, can be considered in terms of spin wave annihilation/creation processes. Hyperfine coupling with the nuclei of the GaAs matrix provides spin non-conservation in the
two-dimensional electron gas and determines spin relaxation in the quantum Hall system. This mechanism competes with spin-orbit coupling channels of spin-wave decay and can even dominate in a low-temperature regime where $T$ is much smaller than the Zeeman gap. In this case the spin-wave relaxation process occurs non-exponentially with time and does not depend on the temperature. The competition of different relaxation channels results in crossovers in the dominant mechanism, leading to non-monotonic behavior of the characteristic relaxation time with the magnetic field. We predict that the relaxation times should reach maxima at $Bsimeq 18,$T in the $ u=1$ Quantum Hall system and at $Bsimeq 12,$T for that of $ u=1/3,$. We estimate these times as $sim10,-,30,mu$s and $sim2,-,5,mu$s, respectively.
