Abstract

We report magnetic neutron-diffraction and electrical resistivity studies on single crystals of the heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 at pressures up to 2.3 GPa. These experiments show that the staggered moment of Ce and the incommensurate magnetic structure change weakly with applied pressure up to 1.63 GPa, where resistivity, specific heat and nuclear quadrupole resonance measurements confirm the presence of bulk superconductivity. This work places important constraints on an interpretation of the relationship between antiferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity in CeRhIn5.
