摘要:

重费米子超导体CeCoIn 5是第一种材料,不同的实验探针显示出强有力的证据指向Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov(FFLO)状态的实现。具有周期性调制的序参量的非均匀超导FFLO态早在40多年前就被预测出现在Pauli限制的、足够干净的II型超导体中。另一方面,CeCoIn 5被认为接近于在大气压下显示强反铁磁(AFM)自旋涨落(SF)的磁量子临界点(QCP)。我们通过在压力下(0 GPa ≤ P ≤ 1.5 GPa,0 T ≤ mu_0 H ≤ 14 T,100 mK ≤ T ≤ 4 K)的热容实验研究了FFLO相在远离强AFM-SF影响下的演化。我们的结果证明了在压力下的FFLO相的稳定性。它甚至扩展,而保利限制变得更弱,AFM-SF被抑制。这显示了AFM-SF对FFLO状态的有趣影响。

英文摘要:

The heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 is the first material, where different experimental probes show strong evidence pointing to the realization of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state. The inhomogeneous superconducting FFLO state with a periodically modulated order parameter was predicted to appear in Pauli-limited, sufficiently clean type-II superconductors already more than 40 years ago. On the other hand, CeCoIn5 is supposed to be close to a magnetic quantum critical point (QCP) showing strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SF) at atmospheric pressure. We studied the evolution of the FFLO phase away from the influence of the strong AFM-SF by heat capacity experiments under pressure (0 GPa <= P <= 1.5 GPa, 0 T <= mu_0 H <= 14 T, and 100 mK <= T <= 4 K). Our results prove the stability of the the FFLO phase under pressure. It even expands, while the Pauli-limiting becomes weaker and the AFM-SF are suppressed. This shows the intriguing influence of the AFM-SF on the FFLO state.
