Abstract
We report In-115 nuclear quadrupolar resonance measurements of the heavy fe rmion compound CeRhIn5 in the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic states. Th e magnetic order is consistent with a model of helical modulation of the Ce moments that is incommensurate with the lattice, and the magnetic dynamics indicate possible two-dimensional behavior.
