## Abstract Polarized Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the room‐temperature phonon characteristics of a series of rare‐earth arsenate (REAsO~4~, RE = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm, Yb, and Lu) single crystals. The Raman data were interpreted in a systematic manner based on the known tetragon

✦ Synopsis
U 2 Ru 2 Sn is unique among all Kondo insulators because of its tetragonal structure and an energy gap of about 150 K being the smallest of all the uranium-based Kondo insulators. We report Knight shift KðTÞ and relaxation rate T À1 1 measurements from 119 SnðI ¼ 1 2 Þ-NMR for the first time in single crystals and oriented micro-crystallites. At low temperatures the anisotropy in KðTÞ increases (K k =K ? ð4:2 KÞ % 2), a trend observed also in wðTÞ and rðTÞ: KðH ? cÞ exhibits a smooth variation, whereas for KðH k cÞ a change of slope occurs at 150 K with a more rapid decrease below. The anisotropy is not as prominent in T À1
1 ðTÞ: The hyperfine coupling constant exhibits a cross-over behaviour from one linear regime of KðTÞ vs. wðTÞ to another around a characteristic temperature.
