Abstract

Motivated by recent thermal conductivity measurements in the superconductor CeCoIn5, we theoretically examine a possible staggered spin-triplet superconducting order to be induced by the coupled spin-density-wave (SDW) and d-wave superconducting (SC) orders in the high-field and low-temperature (HFLT) SC phase peculiar to this material with strong paramagnetic pair-breaking (PPB). It is shown that one type of the π-triplet order is consistent with that explaining the thermal conductivity data and can naturally be incorporated in the picture that the HFLT phase is a consequence of the strong PPB effect inducing the SDW order and the FFLO spatial modulation parallel to the applied magnetic field.
