Abstract

We report Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data for both the In(1) and In(2) sites in the heavy fermion material CeRhIn5_5 under hydrostatic pressure. The Knight shift data reveal a suppression of the hyperfine coupling to the In(1) site as a function of pressure, and the electric field gradient, ναα\nu_{\alpha\alpha}, at the In(2) site exhibits a change of slope, dναα/dPd\nu_{\alpha\alpha}/dP, at Pc1=1.75P_{c1} = 1.75 GPa. These changes to these coupling constants reflect alterations to the electronic structure at the quantum critical point.
