Appearance of $c$-axis magnetic moment in odd-parity antiferromagnetic state in CeRh${}_2$As${}_2$ revealed by ${}^{75}$As-NMR

Abstract

CeRh${}_2$As${}_2$ shows the superconducting (SC) multiphase under the $c$-axis magnetic field, which is considered to originate from local inversion symmetry breaking at the Ce site. We reported that the antiferromagnetic (AFM) order is inside the SC phase and that the AFM state disappears at the transition field to the high-field SC phase. However, the magnetic structure in the AFM state has not been clarified yet. In this study, we performed ${}^{75}$As-NMR measurements in the SC phase in $H\parallel [110]$ to identify the magnetic structure. Comparing the NMR linewidth with $H\parallel c$, we found that the internal magnetic field is oriented to the $c$ axis. This suggests a $q=0$ $A$-type AFM with the moments parallel to the $c$ axis. We also observed the reduction of the spin susceptibility, which indicates spin-singlet superconductivity in the low-field SC phase. This study provides an important clue to clarify the correlation between the SC multiphase, magnetism, and local inversion symmetry breaking.
