Field dependence of thermal conductivity in the superconducting state of

ORAL

Abstract

The thermal conductivity of heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 reveals a notable hysteresis between up and down sweeps of magnetic field, observed at low temperatures, slightly below the upper critical field Hc2. We study systematically this effect as a function of temperature and magnetic history. A possible relation to a coexisting magnetic order is discussed.
