✦ Synopsis

The electronic instability in the highly correlated electron system UPt 3 gives rise to various intriguing phenomena at liquid-helium temperatures, among which the occurrence of unconventional superconductivity (T + = 0.49 K, T c = 0.44 K) has attracted most attention. In a magnetic field three superconducting phases are observed that meet at a tetracritical point. We here present a discussion of a number of puzzling aspects of a superconducting phase diagram (B±c) of unprecedented accuracy, determined by dilatometry. The possible interplay of superconductivity and reduced moment antiferromagnetism (T N = 5 K) is investigated. Furthermore, we report on recent studies of the suppression of T¢, by alloying with Pd, Y, Th, Au and Ir.

The superconducting phase diagram of heavy-fermion UPt 3 has been investigated by means of sensitive dilatometry. The thermodynamic analysis indicates that all the phase lines are of second order. Ehrenfest relations reveal that the C phase is the stable phase under uniaxial pressure (p II e).

The heavy-fermion superconductor UPt 3 shows many indications of unconventional superconductivity. In particular, the multiplicity of superconducting phases calls for an explanation in terms of a multi-component order parameter. As will be reviewed in this article, these phases have been mapped out
