Magnetism in heavy-fermion U(Pt,Pd)3 studied by mSR
R. J. Keizer, A. de Visser, A. A. Menovsky +5
We report mSR experiments carried out on a series of heavy-electron pseudobinary compounds U(Pt1-xPdx)3 (x<=0.05). For x<=0.005 the zero-field muon depolarisation is described by t…
Superconductivity in heavy-fermion U(Pt,Pd)3 and its interplay with magnetism
R. J. Keizer, A. de Visser, M. J. Graf +2
The effect of Pd doping on the superconducting phase diagram of the unconventional superconductor UPt3 has been measured by (magneto)resistance, specific heat, thermal expansion an…
Neutron-diffraction study of the evolution of antiferromagnetic order in UPt3 doped with Pd
R. J. Keizer, A. de Visser, A. A. Menovsky +3
Neutron-diffraction experiments have been carried out on U(Pt1-xPdx)3 single crystals (x<= 0.05). The small-moment antiferromagnetic order (SMAF) reported for pure UPt3 is robust u…
Studies of superconductivity in U(Pt1-xPdx)3 for x < 0.006
M. J. Graf, R. J. Keizer, A. de Visser +1
We report measurements of the specific heat and resistivity (T < 1 K) for high quality polycrystals of U(Pt1-xPdx)3 with x < 0.006. The Tc-x phase diagram can be constructed, and s…
Suppression of Superconductivity in Single Crystals of UPt_3 by Pd Substitution
M. J. Graf, R. J. Keizer, A. de Visser +2
The suppression of superconductivity by substitution effects has been measured in high quality single crystals of U(Pt_{1-x} Pd_x)_3 with 0 <= x <= 0.002. While the superconducting…
Magnetostriction of a Superconductor: -Results from the Critical-State Model
Z. Kozioł, R. A. Dunlap
In many cases, the critical-state theory can be treated as a suffi ciently accurate approximation for the modelling of the magnetic properties of superconductors. In the present wo…
