Abstract

We have measured the ultrasound velocity of quasi-two-dimensional superconductor CeCoIn₅ with extremely large Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility. The results indicate that the new high field superconducting phase, which is revealed by the recent heat capacity measurements, is characterized by the unusual softening of flux line lattice. The softening is most likely due to the collapse of the flux line lattice tilt modulus and transition to quasi-two-dimensional vortex state. These results provide a strong evidence that the high field phase is the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase, in which the order parameter is spatially modulated and has planar nodes aligned perpendicularly to the vortices.
