Anisotropy of the magnetic-field--induced phase transition in superconducting UPt/sub 3/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Measurements of the attenuation of longitudinal ultrasound in superconducting UPt/sub 3/ show a peak, below H/sub c//sub 2/, which depends strongly on the orientation of the field relative to the c axis. We propose an explanation of this peak in terms of a vortex phase transition in an unconventional superconducting state, which is consistent with recent neutron-scattering data.
