Abstract

Detailed magnetization measurements of CeRu2 single crystals with different purity are performed in order to clarify whether their peak effects are due to the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) transition. The onset field of the peak shifts to lower field side as the sample becomes impure. Regardless of the purity the Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ2 continues to increase on cooling from Tc, indicating little paramagnetic suppression of the superconductivity. These results disagree with the scenario of the FFLO transition.
