Abstract
We have performed 59Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on ferromagnetic (FM) superconductor UCoGe, in which ferromagnetism occurs at TCurie∼2.5K. By measuring NQR spectrum at various temperatures, we investigated the development of local magnetic moment around TCurie, and suggest that FM transition possesses weakly first-order character. This first-order behavior is consistent with the theoretical prediction that the low temperature FM transition in itinerant magnets is generically of first-order.
