We report antiferromagnetism in a prototypical quantum critical metal CeCoIn₅ is known to be induced by slight substitutions of nonmagnetic Zn atoms for In. In nominally 7% Zn-substituted CeCoIn₅, an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state coexists with heavy fermion superconductivity. Heterogeneity of the electronic states is investigated in Zn-doped CeCoIn₅ by means of nuclear quadrupole and magnetic resonances (NQR and NMR). Site-dependent NQR relaxation rates 1/T₁ indicate that the AFM state is locally nucleated around Zn substituents in the matrix of a heavy fermion state, and percolates through the bulk at the AFM transition temperature T_N. At lower temperatures, an anisotropic superconducting (SC) gap below the SC transition temperature Tc, and the SC state permeates through the AFM regions via a SC proximity effect. Applying an external magnetic field induces a spin-flop transition near 5T, reducing the volume of the AFM regions. Consequently, a short-ranged inhomogeneous AFM state survives and coexists with a paramagnetic Fermi liquid state at high fields.
