Abstract
The dependence of Andreev reflection on the heavy-fermion superconduct or UPt3 on surface conditions has been investigated by means of point- contact spectroscopy. In contrast to conventional superconductors the surface is expected to play a crucial role for unconventional supercon ductors like UPt3. The result supports that superconductivity in UPt3 can be described by a two-dimensional order parameter with point and l ine nodes.
