Evidence for the Presence of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov State in CeCu_{2}Si_{2} Revealed Using ^{63}Cu NMR.

Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements were performed on CeCu_{2}Si_{2} in the presence of a magnetic field close to the upper critical field μ_{0}H_{c2} in order to investigate its superconducting (SC) properties near pair-breaking fields. In lower fields, the Knight shift and nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature 1/T_{1}T abruptly decreased below the SC transition temperature T_{c}(H), a phenomenon understood within the framework of conventional spin-singlet superconductivity. In contrast, 1/T_{1}T was enhanced just below T_{c}(H) and exhibited a broad maximum when magnetic fields close to μ_{0}H_{c2}(0) were applied parallel or perpendicular to the c axis; although the Knight shift decreased just below T_{c}(H). This enhancement of 1/T_{1}T, which was recently observed in the organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF){2}Cu(NCS){2}, suggests the presence of high-density Andreev bound states in the inhomogeneous SC region, a hallmark of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase.
