Abstract
We report nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurement at ambient pressure and resistivity measurement under high pressure in the new heavy fermion (HF) compound SmOs 4 Sb 12 . The NQR spectrum and the nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate (1/ T 1 ) clearly demonstrate the bulk nature of ferromagnetic ordering below T C ∼2 K. The temperature dependence of 1/ T 1 exhibits the characteristic behaviors of a Kondo lattice. The application of pressure decreases Kondo temperature and stabilizes the magnetic ordering, which is the same tendency as that found in some Yb-based compounds. The obtained phase diagram indicates SmOs 4 Sb 12 to be in the vicinity of its ferromagnetic critical point.
