Pressure Evolution of a Field-Induced Fermi Surface Reconstruction and of the Neel Critical Field in CeIn3

Description

We report high-pressure skin-depth measurements on the heavy fermion material CeIn3 in magnetic fields up to 64 T using a self-resonant tank circuit based on a tunnel diode oscillator. At ambient pressure, an anomaly in the skin depth is seen at 45 T. The field where this anomaly occurs decreases with applied pressure until approximately 1.0 GPa, where it begins to increase before merging with the antiferromagnetic phase boundary. Possible origins for this transport anomaly are explored in terms of a Fermi surface reconstruction. The critical magnetic field at which the Neel-ordered phase is suppressed, is also mapped as a function of pressure and extrapolates to the previous ambient-pressure measurements at high magnetic fields and high-pressure measurements at zero magnetic field.
