Abstract

Nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements were performed on the heavy-fermion superconductor Ce2PdIn8. Above the Kondo coherence temperature Tcoh≃30 K, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 is temperature independent, whereas at lower temperatures, down to the onset of superconductivity at Tc=0.64 K, it is nearly proportional to T1/2. Below Tc, 1/T1 shows no coherence peak and decreases as T3 down to 75 mK. All these findings indicate that Ce2PdIn8 is close to the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point, and the superconducting state has an unconventional character with line nodes in the superconducting gap.
