Description

Recently, several groups have calculated possible superconducting solutions for UPt3 from magnetic fluctuation pairing, by utilizing the band-structure Fermi surface and experimental dynamic susceptibility as input. The resulting solutions do not have proper periodicity in reciprocal-lattice space, though. In this paper, a more fundamental derivation of the pairing interaction is given by treating a lattice of interacting Kondo ions. Proper inclusion of umklapp processes leads to odd-parity solutions for UPt3, with order parameters of A1/sub u/ or E1/sub u/ symmetry preferred
