摘要:

从相关电子化合物的研究中提出的一个基本问题,其中重费米子系统是原型,是需要了解量子临界点(QCP)附近的状态物理。在QCP中,磁序被连续抑制到零温度,并且经常出现非常规的超导性。在这里,我们报告的压力($P$)依赖的$^{115}$在重费米子反铁磁体CeRh $_{0.5}$ Ir $_{0.5}$在$_5$核四极共振(NQR)测量。这些实验揭示了反铁磁(AF)QCP在$P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$ = 1.2 GPa的超导圆顶达到最大转变温度$T_{\rm c}$。然而,在$P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$之前,NQR频率$ν_{\rm Q}$在零温极限下在$P_{\rm c}^{\rm *}$ = 0.8 GPa处突然增加,表明铈的$f$ -电子从局部特性变化为巡回特性,以及费米面中相关的从小到大的变化。在$P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$(其中$T_{\rm c}$被优化),存在远低于$T_{\rm c}$的不寻常的大部分无带隙激发,这暗示自旋单线态、奇频配对对称性。

英文摘要:

A fundamental problem posed from the study of correlated electron compounds, of which heavy-fermion systems are prototypes, is the need to understand the physics of states near a quantum critical point (QCP). At a QCP, magnetic order is suppressed continuously to zero temperature and unconventional superconductivity often appears. Here, we report pressure ($P$) -dependent $^{115}$In nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRh$_{0.5}$Ir$_{0.5}$In$_5$. These experiments reveal an antiferromagnetic (AF) QCP at $P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$ = 1.2 GPa where a dome of superconductivity reaches a maximum transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$. Preceding $P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$, however, the NQR frequency $ν_{\rm Q}$ undergoes an abrupt increase at $P_{\rm c}^{\rm *}$ = 0.8 GPa in the zero-temperature limit, indicating a change from localized to itinerant character of cerium's $f$-electron and associated small-to-large change in the Fermi surface. At $P_{\rm c}^{\rm AF}$ where $T_{\rm c}$ is optimized, there is an unusually large fraction of gapless excitations well below $T_{\rm c}$ that implicates spin-singlet, odd-frequency pairing symmetry.
