Abstract

We have carried out 115In and 59Co nuclear quadrupole resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on CeCoIn5 and CeIrIn5. The temperature T dependence of the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 of 115In in the normal state indicates that CeCoIn5 is located just at an antiferromagnetic instability, and CeIrIn5 is in the nearly antiferromagnetic region. In the superconducting state, 1/T1 has no Hebel-Slichter coherence peak just below TC and a power-law T dependence (close to T3) at very low temperatures, which indicates the existence of line nodes in the superconducting energy gap. The 115In (Ce-In plane) Knight shift in CeCoIn5 decreases for both parallel and perpendicular directions to the tetragonal c axis in the superconducting state, which shows that the spin susceptibility decreases in all directions. These results indicate that CeCoIn5 and CeIrIn5 exhibit non-s-wave even parity (probably d-wave) superconductivity.
