We report the systematic evolution of the superconducting (SC) characteristics of the heavy-fermion (HF) superconductor CeCoIn 5 via nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurement under pressure ( P ). The application of P significantly suppresses the nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate 1/ T 1 that is dominated by antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin fluctuations (SFs) specific to a quantum critical point (QCP). It is demonstrated that the marked suppression of AFM SFs leads to a reduction in the SC energy gap or in the coupling strength of the Cooper pair. T c , nevertheless, increases with increasing P due to the increase in HF bandwidth. This is expected to make the lifetime of quasi-particles sufficiently long.
