Coexistence of antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity in CeRh[sub 1[minus]x]M[sub x]In[sub 5](M=Ir and Co) (open access)

Coexistence of antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity in CeRh[sub 1[minus]x]M[sub x]In[sub 5](M=Ir and Co)

We report a systematic neutron diffraction study on the coexistence of long-range magnetic order and superconductivity in heavy fermion compounds CeRhl-,M,Ins (M=Ir,Co). In addition to the incommensurate antiferromagnetic component in pure CeRhIn5, new type of antiferromagnetic component is found to concur with appearance of superconductivity in the Ir and Co alloy series. There is no detectable effect of the superconducting transition on magnetic order parameters. We compare those results with similar studies we performed on CeRhIn:, under pressure. We also discuss possible theoretical scenarios.
