Аннотация:Nuclear resonance investigations on the Na-23 and the La-139 nuclei in filled skutterudites MFe4Sb12 (M = Na, La) are reported. In contrast to NaFe4Sb12 for the La compound the effective magnetic moment is remarkably lower and the Curie-Weiss temperature is negative which indicates antiferromagnetic correlations. The spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/T-1 exhibit a qualitatively different temperature behavior which provides clear evidence for dissimilar types of itinerant magnetism in the two compounds. For NaFe4Sb12 1/T-1 vs. T indicates itinerant ferromagnetism with ordering at T-c = 85 K, whereas for the La0.9Fe4Sb12 weak itinerant antiferromagnetism with no ordering is found. 1/T-1 is analyzed in terms of Moriya's self-consistent renormalization theory (SCR) for itinerant magnetic materials.
