CeCu2Si2, the first discovered heavy-fermion superconductor, exhibits different ground states in subtle dependence on the exact stoichiometry: It shows either incommensurate magnetic order (A), superconductivity (S), or both phenomena (A/S). Ge doping decreases the hybridisation between the localised Ce 4f and the conduction electrons, and therefore allows for studying the evolution of superconductivity in the presence of a stabilised magnetic A phase. Cu-NQR measurements on polycrystals of CeCu2(Si0.98Ge0.02)2 give indications of a coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. We performed elastic neutron scattering on a single crystalline sample, which was mounted on a susceptibility set-up. The simultaneous recording of the susceptibility during the neutron measurement gives us the opportunity to follow the onset of superconductivity in-situ. Our results clearly indicate that, analogous to the situation in A/S CeCu2Si2, a phase separation between magnetic and superconducting volumes takes place, with a small magnetic volume fraction persisting down to low temperatures. These findings will be compared to results on 10 % Ge doped CeCu2Si2.
