In-plane angular dependence of the upper critical field of the unconventional superconductor CeCoIn5 - Implications for the order parameter symmetry — •F. Weickert1, P. Gegenwart1, S. Haas2, H. Won3, and K. Maki21Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Noethnitzer Str. 40, 01187 Dresden, Germany — 2Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0484, USA — 3Department of Physics, Hallym University, Chunchon 200-702, South Korea

CeCoIn5 is a tetragonal heavy fermion system that shows unconventional superconductivity below Tc  = 2.3K with upper critical fields of about 5T (B || c) and 11.5T (Bc). Below a temperature of 0.7K, the superconducting to normal transition is of first order and at lower temperatures indications for an inhomogenous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in close vicinity to Bc2 (T) have been discovered.

Here we use resistivity measurements to study the in-plane angular dependence of the upper critical field Bc2 (θ) at 0.1K. A fourfold oscillation with 2% amplitude is observed. Since Bc2 for fields parallel to the [110] direction is larger than along the [100] direction, our results would be compatible with a dxy superconducting order parameter.
