Relationship between Ferromagnetic Criticality and the Enhancement of Superconductivity Induced by Transverse Magnetic Fields in UCoGe
arXiv:1406.2836 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.83.073708
Abstract
We have performed 59Co NMR experiments on the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe under magnetic fields (H) along the a- and b- axes to investigate the relationship between ferromagnetic properties and superconductivity. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature TCurie is suppressed and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 at 2 K is enhanced in H || b, although TCurie and 1/T1 are unchanged in H || a, indicating that the ferromagnetic criticality is induced only when H is applied along the b axis. We show the close relationship between the magnetic anisotropies and the superconducting ones reported by Aoki et al.: the superconductivity is gradually suppressed in H || a, but enhanced in H || b above 5 T. We strongly suggest that the enhancement of the superconductivity observed in H || b originates from the field induced ferromagnetic criticality, as pointed out by Aoki et al and Mineev.
