摘要:

自旋涨落介导的非常规超导性可以出现在磁性的边界,其特征是超导序参量在动量空间中改变符号。这种符号变化的检测在实验上具有挑战性,因为大多数探针不是相位敏感的。假设自旋共振模(SRM)是自旋激子束缚态,从非弹性中子散射中观测到的SRM常常被看作是超导序参量变号的强相敏证据。在这里,我们表明,对于重费米子超导体CeCoIn $_5$,其SRM无视自旋激子束缚态的预期,并且不是变号超导性的表现。相反,CeCoIn $_5$中的SRM可能是由于超导状态下阻尼减小到类磁振子模式而产生的,这是由于其接近磁量子临界。我们的研究结果强调,需要更严格的测试是否SRM是自旋激子,当使用它们的存在来证明符号变化的超导性。

英文摘要:

Spin-fluctuation-mediated unconventional superconductivity can emerge at the border of magnetism, featuring a superconducting order parameter that changes sign in momentum space. Detection of such a sign-change is experimentally challenging, since most probes are not phase-sensitive. The observation of a spin resonance mode (SRM) from inelastic neutron scattering is often seen as strong phase-sensitive evidence for a sign-changing superconducting order parameter, by assuming the SRM is a spin-excitonic bound state. Here, we show that for the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$, its SRM defies expectations for a spin-excitonic bound state, and is not a manifestation of sign-changing superconductivity. Instead, the SRM in CeCoIn$_5$ likely arises from a reduction of damping to a magnon-like mode in the superconducting state, due to its proximity to magnetic quantum criticality. Our findings emphasize the need for more stringent tests of whether SRMs are spin-excitonic, when using their presence to evidence sign-changing superconductivity.
