Magnetic field splitting of the spin resonance in CeCoIn5

Abstract:
Neutron scattering in strong magnetic fields is used to show the spin resonance in superconducting CeCoIn(5) (T(c)=2.3 K) is a doublet. The underdamped resonance (ħΓ=0.069±0.019 meV) Zeeman splits into two modes at E(±)=ħΩ(0)±αμ(B)μ(0)H with α=0.96±0.05. A linear extrapolation of the lower peak reaches zero energy at 11.2±0.5 T, near the critical field for the incommensurate "Q phase." Kenzelmann et al. [Science 321, 1652 (2008)] This, taken with the integrated weight and polarization of the low-energy mode (E(-)), indicates that the Q phase can be interpreted as a Bose condensate of spin excitons.
