Sb. Roy et P. Chaddah, ANOMALOUS SUPERCONDUCTING PROPERTIES IN CERU2 - EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC AND NONMAGNETIC SUBSTITUTIONS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 55(17), 1997, pp. 11100-11102
Magnetic measurements on high-quality single crystal and Nd-, La-, and
Lu-doped polycrystalline samples of superconducting compound CeRu2 ar
e reported. Results with Nd doping clearly indicate that large electro
nic mean free path is not a necessary condition for the occurrence of
anomalous superconducting phenomena near H-c2 in this compound. The en
hanced paramagnetic susceptibility, on the other hand, certainly plays
a key role.
