Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:34.6(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Antiferromagnetism in a prototypical quantum critical metal CeCoIn is known to be induced by slight substitutions of non-magnetic Zn atoms for In. In nominally 7% Zn substituted CeCoIn
, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state coexists with heavy fermion superconductivity. Heterogeneity of the electronic states is investigated in Zn doped CeCoIn
by means of nuclear quadrupole and magnetic resonances (NQR and NMR). Site-dependent NQR relaxation rates
indicate that the AFM state is locally nucleated around Zn substituents in the matrix of a heavy fermion state, and percolates through the bulk at the AFM transition temperature

Consequently, a short ranged inhomogeneous AFM state survives and coexists with a paramagnetic Fermi liquid state at high fields.

Dilute substitutions of non-magnetic dopants Zn can induce a long-ranged antiferromagnetic ordering to a heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn. We have microscopically investigated the Zn-doped CeCoIn
by means of the nuclear quadrupole/magnetic resonance (NQR/NMR) techniques.

We have used Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) to probe microscopically the response of prototypical quantum critical metal CeCoIn to substitutions of small amounts of Cd or Zn for In. Such non-magnetic Cd or Zn substitutions induce a long range antiferromagnetism. In the case of Cd substitutions, approximately half of the Cd substituents induce local Ce moments in their close proximity, as observed by site-dependent longitudinal nuclear spin relaxation rates
. In the paramagnetic state, the values of
at the main peak position are similar to those in the pure CeCoIn
, while those are enhanced at the skirt position of spectrum. We will discuss about the heterogeneous electronic state realized in such a Zn substituted system and discuss about the coexistence of superconductivity with the antiferromagnetism, as well.

In heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn, slight Zn substitutions for In atoms induce antiferromagnetism, while slight Ni substitutions for Co atoms suppress superconductivity. The both substituted CeCoIn
exhibit non- fermi-liquid behaviors near the phase boundaries which have been detected by magnetization and specific heat measurements. We have performed NMR experiments in these systems to investigate the microscopic effects by substituents. We will discuss about the spin fluctuations near the boundaries by NMR relaxation rates.

Substitutions of In sites by Zn atoms in heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn is reported to induce an antiferromagnetic order by Yokoyama et al. in Ibaraki University. Near the critical region, non-Fermi-liquid behavior has been observed in magnetization and specific heat. We have performed NMR measurements to reveal the spin fluctuations near the critical region.

Heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn is considered as a quantum critical antiferromagnetic material. When the In elements are slightly substituted by Zn elements, a long-range antiferromagnetism is induced. On the other hand, slight Sn substitutions make the system step away from the quantum critical point. In the case of Zn substitutions, heterogeneity of antiferromagnetic area in the matrix of heavy fermion state has been microscopically confirmed by NQR measurements. In the case of Ni substitutions for the Co elements, the NQR result appears to be the same as in Sn substituted system.
