Anomalous Paramagnetic Magnetization in Mixed State of CeCoIn$_5$ single crystals

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-11-13 v3

Abstract

Magnetization and torque measurements were performed on CeCoIn5_5 single crystals to study the mixed-state thermodynamics. These measurements allow the determination of both paramagnetic and vortex responses in the mixed-state magnetization. The paramagnetic magnetization is suppressed in the mixed state with the spin susceptibility increasing with increasing magnetic field. The dependence of spin susceptibility on magnetic field is due to the fact that heavy electrons contribute both to superconductivity and paramagnetism and a large Zeeman effect exists in this system. No anomaly in the vortex response was found within the investigated temperature and field range.
