摘要:

利用$^{59}$ Co核四极共振(NQR)研究了UCoGe($T_{\rm Curie} \sim 2.5$ K和$T_{\rm SC}$ $\sim$ 0.6 K)中铁磁性和超导电性共存的微观结构.低于1 K的$^{59}$ Co-NQR信号指示整个样品体积的铁磁性,而铁磁(FM)相中的核自旋-晶格弛豫速率$1/T_1$由于超导(SC)能隙的打开而降低到低于$T_{\rm SC}$。SC状态被发现是不均匀的,暗示了自诱导涡旋状态,可能在FM超导体中实现。另外,$T_{\rm Curie}$附近的$^{59}$ Co-NQR谱表明,UCoGe中的FM跃迁具有一阶特征,这与巡游磁体中低温FM跃迁一般为一阶的理论预言相一致.

英文摘要:

Unambiguous evidence for the microscopic coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in UCoGe ($T_{\rm Curie} \sim 2.5$ K and $T_{\rm SC}$ $\sim$ 0.6 K) is reported from $^{59}$Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR). The $^{59}$Co-NQR signal below 1 K indicates ferromagnetism throughout the sample volume, while nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ in the ferromagnetic (FM) phase decreases below $T_{\rm SC}$ due to the opening of the superconducting(SC) gap. The SC state was found to be inhomogeneous, suggestive of a self-induced vortex state, potentially realizable in a FM superconductor. In addition, the $^{59}$Co-NQR spectrum around $T_{\rm Curie}$ show that the FM transition in UCoGe possesses a first-order character, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction that the low-temperature FM transition in itinerant magnets is generically of first-order.
