We have performed magnetization and 31 P-NMR measurements on the itinerant ferromagnet LaCoPO (Curie temperature T Curie ∼44 K) with a 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 χ above T Curie indicates that the 31 P 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/ T 1 T at the P site show characteristic features of itinerant ferromagnets, such as ZrZn 2 and Y(Co 1- x Al x ) 2 . In addition, the relationship between 1/ T 1 T and χ 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 .
