摘要:

当受到压力时,原型重费米子反铁磁体CeRhIn 5变成超导体,形成以2.35 GPa(=P2)为中心的超导性的宽圆顶,最大Tc为2.3 K。在超导圆顶之上,正常状态显示出奇怪的金属行为,包括比热的发散和亚T线性电阻率。在P < P2的压力范围内,场致磁相与超导性共存的发现被解释为量子相变的证据,这可以解释在正常状态下观察到的非费米液体行为。在这里,我们报告的电阻率测量CeRhIn 5下的磁场在P2,其中的电阻率是次T-线性的温度以上的Tc(或T_FL)和T^2系数A低于T_FL发散作为Hc 2的接近。这些结果与场致量子临界化合物CeCoIn 5类似,并证实了压力诱导超导体CeRhIn 5中存在量子临界点。

英文摘要:

When subjected to pressure, the prototypical heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 becomes superconducting, forming a broad dome of superconductivity centered around 2.35 GPa (=P2) with maximal Tc of 2.3 K. Above the superconducting dome, the normal state shows strange metallic behaviours, including a divergence in the specific heat and a sub-T-linear electrical resistivity. The discovery of a field-induced magnetic phase that coexists with superconductivity for a range of pressures P < P2 has been interpreted as evidence for a quantum phase transition, which could explain the non-Fermi liquid behavior observed in the normal state. Here we report electrical resistivity measurements of CeRhIn5 under magnetic field at P2, where the resistivity is sub-T-linear for temperatures above Tc (or T_FL) and a T^2-coefficient A found below T_FL diverges as Hc2 is approached. These results are similar to the field-induced quantum critical compound CeCoIn5 and confirm the presence of a quantum critical point in the pressure-induced superconductor CeRhIn5.
