Unexpected Manifestations for quantum criticality in the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5
CeCoIn5 may well be the drosophilia for correlated electron physics. This heavy fermion superconductor sits on the border of antiferromagnetism, is a d-wave superconductor, and possibly exhibits a novel inhomogeneous superconducting state in high magnetic fields. NMR measurements have revealed a subtle interplay of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in this system, and may lead to a new paradigm for quantum critical phenomena in Kondo lattices.
