Doping effect on Pauli limited superconductor CeCoIn₅ — •Yoshi Tokiwa — I. Physik. Institut, Georg-August Universitat Gottingen, Friedrich-Hund Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen

We present a study on the proposed FFLO state in the strongly Pauli limited superconductor CeCoIn₅ by measuring specific heat of slightly Hg- and Sn-doped compounds, CeCo(In_1−xHg_x)₅ and CeCo(In_1−xSn_x)₅ with x from 0.01 to 0.08%. The high-field low-temperature (HFLT) superconducting (SC) phase exhibits an extreme sensitiveness to the doping, i. e., HFLT phase being suppressed by ∼0.05% of Hg-doping or ∼0.08% of Sn-doping. Our results suggest a possible relation between the characteristic length scale of HFLT phase and SC coherence length. Interestingly, the HFLT transition temperature T_HFLT increases with increasing Hg-doping concentration, while it decreases as Sn is doped. A plot of T_HFLT vs T_c at high fields with doping concentration as an implicit parameter shows a scaling of the two, T_HFLT∝ T_c. We conclude that these results imply SC origin of the HFLT state rather than antiferromagnetism.
