We have investigated the effect of Yb substitution on the Pauli-limited, heavy-fermion superconductor, CeCoIn5. Yb acts as a non-magnetic divalent substituent for Ce throughout the entire doping range, equivalent to hole doping on the rare-earth site. We found that the upper critical field in (Ce,Yb)CoIn5 is Pauli limited, yet the reduced (H,T ) phase diagram is insensitive to disorder, as expected in the purely orbitally limited case. We use the Pauli-limiting field, the superconducting condensation energy and the electronic specific-heat coefficient to determine the Wilson ratio (RW ), the ratio of the specific-heat coefficient to the Pauli susceptibility in CeCoIn5. The method is applicable to any Pauli-limited superconductor in the clean limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
