In zero magnetic field, the famous neutron spin resonance in the f-electron
superconductor CeCoIn5 is similar to the recently discovered exciton peak in
the non-superconducting CeB6. Magnetic field splits the resonance in CeCoIn5
into two components, indicating that it is a doublet. Here we employ inelastic
neutron scattering (INS) to scrutinize the field dependence of spin
fluctuations in CeB6. The exciton shows a markedly different behavior without
any field splitting. Instead, we observe a second field-induced magnon whose
energy increases with field. At the ferromagnetic zone center, however, we find
only a single mode with a non-monotonic field dependence. At low fields, it is
initially suppressed to zero together with the antiferromagnetic order
parameter, but then reappears at higher fields inside the hidden-order phase,
following the energy of an electron spin resonance (ESR). This is a unique
example of a ferromagnetic resonance in a heavy-fermion metal seen by both ESR
and INS consistently over a broad range of magnetic fields.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures including one animation, accepted to Phys. Rev.
