NMR study of the Cd-doped CeCoIn$_{5}$ heavy-fermion superconductor
ORAL
Abstract
We have investigated the local environment of In and Co sites of the heavy fermion compound CeCo(In$_{1-x}$Cd$_{x}$)$_{5}$ ($x$ = 0.0, 0.10 and 0.15) using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) measurements. Recently, it was found that Cd-doping acts as an electronic tuning agent in CeCoIn$_{5}$ and that superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AFM) coexist at ambient-pressure for $0.05 < x < 0.15$. The NMR/NQR spectra of In and Co indicate the presence of electronic inhomogeneity, and the spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_{1}$ shows dramatic change in the spin dynamics only below $T \simeq 2T_{c}$.
