Consistence of spin fluctuations and superconductivity in UPt3

Abstract

Fluid capacity measurements on the heavy formion superconductor UPt3 in an 11T magnetic field show that aboveapproximately 7 K, UPt3 behaves like the spin fluctuation compounds UAl2 and TiB2. Magnetoresistance measurements on UPt3 at 1.2 K also yield results similar to UAl2 in contrast to the other heavy fermion superconductors CeCu3Si3 and UBe1, which show a magneticresistance effect of opposite sign. Thus, experimental results permit continued speculation of triplet superconductivity in UPt3. © 1984 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.
