Abstract

We report NMR studies on a single crystal of NpFe Ga5, which has the tetragonal HoCo Ga5 (115) structure and exhibits two antiferromagnetically ordered states. In the antiferromagnetic I phase below 118 K, the observed internal field at the Ga(2) (4i) site is consistent with the ordered structure revealed by neutron diffraction measurements. Below 78 K in the antiferromagnetic II phase, two different Ga(2) sites with different electric field gradient tensors appear, which indicates an orbitally related ordering. A possible quadrupolar ordering in the antiferromagnetic II phase is discussed.
