Abstract

We report spin-lattice relaxation time measurements in isostructural (HoCoGa5-type) actinide compounds with different ground states (paramagnet, antiferromagnet, and superconductor) using single-crystal samples. The anisotropy of local magnetic fluctuations due to LS coupling on the actinide (magnetic) site is evaluated. In the superconductor PuRhGa5, the XY-type magnetic anisotropy is strong compared with nonsuperconducting compounds. Favorable magnetic anisotropy for d-wave superconductivity in f-electron systems is discussed.
