Description

Motivated by the recent observations of electronic correlation effect M. Corasaniti et al. [Phys. Rev. B 104, L121112 (2021).] and topology-stabilized magnetic fluctuations N. C. drucker et al. [Nat. Commun. 14, 5182 (2023).] in the noncentrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetal candidate CeAlGe, we performed systematic studies on the local static and dynamic spin susceptibilities by Al27 nuclear magnetic resonance. Due to the large spin susceptibility from Ce-4f electrons, the theoretically predicted responses from Weyl fermions are overwhelmed. A Knight-shift anomaly is observed below T*50 K, a signature of the onset of coherent Kondo coupling. In addition, an anomalous peak is found in 1/T1T near 15 K, well above the magnetic ordering temperature TN5 K, which is probably a consequence of topology-stabilized magnetic fluctuations. These results highlight the interplay among electronic correlation, magnetism, and band topology in this family of Kondo Weyl semimetals.
