摘要
We have performed magnetization and P-31-NMR measurements on the itinerant ferromagnet LaCoPO (Curie temperature T-Curie similar to 44 K) with it layered structure in order to investigate spin dynamics in the paramagnetic state. The linear scaling between the Knight shift K at the P site and the bulk susceptibility chi above T-Curie indicates that the P-31 nucleus is suitable for investigating magnetic properties. The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by the temperature 1/T1T at the P site show characteristic features of itinerant ferromagnets, such as ZrZn2 and Y(Co1-xAlx)(2). In addition, the relationship between 1/T1T and chi above T-Curie suggests that ferromagnetic fluctuations possess a two-dimensional (2D) characteristic. The present data show that LaCoPO is a unique ferromagnet, where the 2D fluctuations anticipated from the crystal structure are predominant down to almost T-Curie.
