Magnetic fluctuations is the leading candidate for pairing in cuprate, iron-based, and heavy fermion superconductors. This view is challenged by the recent discovery of nodeless superconductivity in CeCu2Si2, and calls for a detailed understanding of the corresponding magnetic fluctuations. Here, we mapped out the magnetic excitations in superconducting (S-type) CeCu2Si2 using inelastic neutron scattering, finding a strongly asymmetric dispersion for E 1.5 meV, which at higher energies evolves into broad columnar magnetic excitations that extend to E 5 meV. While low-energy magnetic excitations exhibit marked three-dimensional characteristics, the high-energy magnetic excitations in CeCu2Si2 are almost two-dimensional, reminiscent of paramagnons found in cuprate and iron-based superconductors. By comparing our experimental findings with calculations in the random-phase approximation,we find that the magnetic excitations in CeCu2Si2 arise from quasiparticles associated with its heavy electron band, which are also responsible for superconductivity. Our results provide a basis for understanding magnetism and superconductivity in CeCu2Si2, and demonstrate the utility of neutron scattering in probing band renormalization in heavy fermion metals.

CeCu2Si2 中重准粒子的高能磁激发

磁涨落是铜酸盐、铁基和重费米子超导体配对的主要候选者。这一观点受到最近发现的 CeCu 2 Si 2无节点超导性的挑战,需要详细了解相应的磁涨落。在这里,我们使用非弹性中子散射绘制了超导(S型)CeCu 2 Si 2中的磁激发,发现E 1.5 meV具有强不对称色散 ,在较高能量下演变成宽柱状磁激发,延伸至E  5兆伏。虽然低能磁激发表现出明显的三维特征,但 CeCu 2 Si 2中的高能磁激发几乎是二维的,让人想起铜酸盐和铁基超导体中发现的顺磁振子。通过将我们的实验结果与随机相位近似中的计算结果进行比较,我们发现CeCu 2 Si 2中的磁激发源自与其重电子带相关的准粒子,这些准粒子也负责超导性。我们的结果为理解CeCu 2 Si 2中的磁性和超导性提供了基础,并证明了中子散射在重费米子金属探测带重整化中的实用性。
