Abstract

A brief review is given on the current state of experimental and theoretical work in the field of heavy fermion superconductivity. Particular emphasis is placed on those experiments which demonstrate the presence of an unconventional order parameter, as well as the intricate interplay of magnetism and superconductivity in these metals. On the theoretical front, current phenomenological models of the superconductivity are reviewed along with potential pairing mechanisms.
