A fundamental problem posed from the study of correlated electron compounds, of which heavy-fermion systems are prototypes, is the need to understand the physics of states near a quantum critical point (QCP). At a QCP, magnetic order is suppressed continuously to zero temperature and unconventional superconductivity often appears. Here, we report pressure (P)-dependent ¹¹⁵In nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRh_0.5Ir_0.5In₅. These experiments reveal an antiferromagnetic (AF) QCP at ${P}_{{\rm{c}}}^{{\rm{AF}}}=1.2$ GPa where a dome of superconductivity reaches a maximum transition temperature T_c. Preceding ${P}_{{\rm{c}}}^{{\rm{AF}}}$, however, the NQR frequency ν_Q undergoes an abrupt increase at ${P}_{{\rm{c}}}^{{\rm{* }}}$ = 0.8 GPa in the zero-temperature limit, indicating a change from localized to itinerant character of cerium’s f-electron and associated small-to-large change in the Fermi surface. At ${P}_{{\rm{c}}}^{{\rm{AF}}}$ where T_c is optimized, there is an unusually large fraction of gapless excitations well below T_c that implicates spin-singlet, odd-frequency pairing symmetry.
