Abstract

We have measured the Knight shifts (K) and nuclear relaxation times (T1) for C59o in CeCoIn5 under external fields along a and c axes with the goal of establishing the anisotropy of antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SF). In our approach, we revisit the problem of interpreting anomalies in the relationship between Knight shift Ka,c and static susceptibility χa,c: assuming a single component susceptibility implies a temperature-dependent hyperfine coupling Aa,c(T). Once adopted, a known discrepancy between the behaviors of T1−1 for C59o and I115n(1) sites is eliminated to within experimental uncertainties and the variation with temperature is analyzed within the framework of two-dimensional AFM SF in proximity to a quantum-critical point. Moreover, the ratio [T1a/T1c] indicates easy-plane anisotropy for T<T∗∼40 K, for the heavy-fermion state.
