  10. 1/T1T of CeRh1-xIrxIn5 CeRh1-xIrxIn5 x decreases →the peak of 1/T1T enhances Magnetic fluctuations enhance, and TC goes up

  11. Tc Below TC 1/T1∝T3 　→ line-node d-wave SC Assume the line-node gap function and residual density of state (RDOS) Superconducting energy-gap of CeRh1-xIrxIn5

  12. Superconducting energy-gap of CeRh1-xIrxIn5 The increase of TC correspond to the increase of Δ0

  13. 1/T1T of CeIrIn5 under pressure CeIrIn5 By applying pressure, →1/T1T～const. (fermi liquid) Nonmagnetic, but TC goes up

  14. Superconducting energy-gap of CeIrIn5 Assume the line-node gap function → 1/T1～ T3 Superconducting gap is constant (Δ0=2.5kBTC)

  15. Compared energy-gap x=1.0→0.6 SC gap changes with TC x=1.0 under pressure SC gap is constant (2Δ0=5.0kBTC) The origin of SC2 is different from SC1 !

  16. TC The value of γ(= C/T) is scaled to (1/T1T)1/2 Superconducting property R. Borth et al., Physica B 312-313 (2002) 136-137

  17. Summary • In CeRh1-xIrxIn5, the superconductivity is mediated by antiferromagnetic fluctuations. • In CeIrIn5, the external pressure drastically suppresses antiferromagnetic fluctuations. • Above 1.0 GPa, the superconductivity is realized in the heavy-fermion state without antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. • The increase of TC in CeIrIn5 under pressure may be relevant with the increase of bandwidth.
