Abstract

Based on analysis of nuclear (I115n) spin-lattice relaxation-time measurements on the heavy-fermion superconductor CeIrIn5, q⃗, ω, and temperature dependences of the dynamical susceptibility Im χ(q⃗,ωn) near the antiferromagnetic wave vector Q⃗ at low energy ωn∼10−4 meV have been estimated. The T dependences found, Im χ(Q⃗,ωn)∼T−3/2 and antiferromagnetic correlation length ξ∼T−3/4, are consistent with quantum critical behavior for a three-dimensional antiferromagnet (d=3, z=2) having a spin-density-wave instability.
