Abstract

We have performed 59^{59}Co NMR measurements of CeCoIn5_5 down to ultralow temperatures. We find that the temperature dependence of the spin-echo intensity provides a good measure of the sample temperature, enabling us to determine a pulse condition not heating up the sample by the NMR pulses down to ultralow temperatures. From the longitudinal relaxation time (T1T_1) measurements at 5 T applied along the cc axis, a pronounced peak in 1/T1T1/T_1T is observed at 20 mK, implying an appearance of magnetic order as suggested by the recent quantum oscillation measurements [H. Shishido {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 120}, 177201 (2018)]. On the other hand, the NMR spectrum shows no change below 20 mK. Moreover, the peak in 1/T1T1/T_1 T disappears at 6 and 8 T in contrast to the results of the quantum oscillation. We discuss that an antiferromagnetic state with a moment lying in the aa--bb plane can be a possible origin for the peak in 1/T1T1/T_1 T at 5 T.
