Abstract

The electrodynamic properties of the quasi-two-dimensional heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 have been investigated by microwave surface impedance measurements over a wide range of microwave frequencies and temperatures. We derive a value penetration depth λ(0)∼190nm, with a strong linear term in the temperature dependence of λ(T) below Tc/3, consistent with a superconducting gap with line nodes. The real part of the conductivity displays a broad peak at low temperatures consistent with a decreased scattering rate of almost 2 orders of magnitude below Tc. CeCoIn5 has remarkably similar properties to those of the high- Tc cuprates.
