Antiferromagnetic ordering induced by paramagnetic depairing in unconventional superconductors
Abstract
Antiferromagnetic (AFM) (or spin-density wave) quantum critical fluctuation enhanced just below Hc2(0) have been often observed in d-wave superconductors with a strong Pauli paramagnetic depairing (PD) including CeCoIn5. It is shown here that such a tendency of field-induced AFM ordering is a consequence of strong PD and should appear particularly in superconductors with a gap node along the AFM modulation. Two phenomena seen in CeCoIn5, the anomalous vortex lattice form factor and the AFM order in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state, are explained based on this peculiar PD effect.
