Probing the Nodal Gap in the Pressure-Induced Heavy Fermion Superconductor CeRhIn5

We report field-orientation specific heat studies of the pressure-induced heavy-fermion superconductor CeRhIn5. These experiments provide the momentum-dependent superconducting gap function for the first time in any pressure-induced superconductor. In the coexisting phase of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism, field rotation within the Ce-In plane reveals fourfold modulation in the density of states, which favors a d-wave order parameter and constrains a theory of the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism.
