Penetration depth, symmetry breaking, and gap nodes in superconducting PrOs4Sb12
Lei Shu, D. E. MacLaughlin, R. H. Heffner +9
Transverse-field muon spin relaxation rates in single crystals of the heavy-fermion superconductor PrOs4Sb12 (Tc = 1.85 K) are nearly constant in the vortex state for temperatures…
Microwave Spectroscopy of PrOs_4Sb_12: Josephson-Coupled Two-Band Superconductivity and Itinerant f Electrons
D. M. Broun, P. J. Turner, G. K. Mullins +7
We report microwave surface impedance measurements made on a single crystal of PrOs_4Sb_12 across the frequency range 0.5 to 21 GHz. The penetration depth data provide clear thermo…
A new heavy fermion superconductor: the filled skutterudite compound PrOsSb
M. B. Maple, P. -C. Ho, N. A. Frederick +3
The filled skutterudite compound \PrOsSb{} exhibits superconductivity below a critical temperature K that develops out of a nonmagnetic heavy Fermi liquid wit…
Hot isostatic pressing of bulk magnesium diboride: mechanical and superconducting properties
S. S. Indrakanti, V. F. Nesterenko, M. B. Maple +3
Two different hot isostatic pressing cycles (HIPing) were investigated to synthesize bulk MgB2 samples: a "standard" cycle where a low vessel pressure is maintained while heating t…
