Muon spin relaxation studies of heavy fermion superconductors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6514458
This talk will focus recent developments in our understanding of heavy fermion (HF) superconductors and the role that positive muon spin relaxation ([mu]SR) studies have played in helping to elucidate their properties. As illustrations two systems will be discussed: (1) UPd[sub 2]Al[sub 3], one of the most recently discovered HF superconductors, which also displays coexisting magnetic order and (2) UBe[sub 3] doped with small quantities Of Th substituted for U, which displays an interplay between its superconducting and magnetic ground states, leading to multiple superconducting states.
