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 
. At lower temperatures, an anisotropic superconducting (SC) gap below the SC transition temperature 
, and the SC state permeates through the AFM regions via a SC proximity effect. Applying an external magnetic field induces a spin-flop transition near 5 T, reducing the volume of the AFM regions. Consequently, a short ranged inhomogeneous AFM state survives and coexists with a paramagnetic Fermi liquid state at high fields.

Very recently, we have succeeded in NMR/NQR measurements for PuRhGa. PuRhGa is a superconductor with 
9 K, which is isomorphic to PuCoGa with the higher =18 K. We have reported that PuRhGa is an unconventional superconductor with an anisotropic gap, through the measurement of NQR spin-lattice relaxation rate 
, while PuCoGa is also reported to be such an anisotropic superconductor. The Knight shift 
and of NMR under applied field for the normal state of PuRhGa suggest an anisotropic feature of hyperfine and/or spin fluctuation in this system. We will outline the superconducting state and report the nature of the normal state based on the basis of and 
results. The difference between PuRhGa and PuCoGa will be also discussed.

Ga NMR/NQR studies have been performed on a single crystal of the transuranium superconductor PuRhGa with =9 K. The spin-lattice relaxation rate reveals that PuRhGa is an unconventional superconductor having an anisotropic superconducting gap. Moreover, Korringa behavior (
) is observed in the normal state below 30 K. This result suggests that the superconductivity sets in after the formation of a Fermi liquid state in this compound.

. From the NMR spectrum in the paramagnetic temperature region, the hyperfine coupling constants 
in the paramagnetic state have been evaluated. The magnitude of the transferred field has been evaluated from the zero-applied-field spectrum, yielding a value for the hyperfine coupling constant 
in the antiferromagnetic state. The estimated value of is an order of magnitude larger than that of . This implies the existence of a long-ranged hyperfine interaction path. The mechanism of the hyperfine interaction will be discussed in terms of RKKY interactions.

In the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn, dilute substitutions by Sn or Cd suppress the superconductivity or induce an antiferromagnetically ordered state. Such impurity effects have been microscopically investigated by nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) technique. While the Sn substituents weaken electronic correlations and suppress the superconductivity, the Cd substituents induce local moments closely around themselves but the bulk electronic state far from the substituents stays as in a pure CeCoIn. Such a heterogeneous electronic state in the Cd substituted system means a local breakage of Kondo hybridization by non-magnetic Cd substituents.

We have used nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) to probe microscopically the response of a 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 the 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 case of Zn substitutions, the similar site dependence of is observed as well. We will discuss about the heterogeneous electronic state realized in such a dilutely substituted system.

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.
