Heavy fermion superconductivity in the filled skutterudite compound PrOs$_4$Sb$_{12}$

Superconductivity 2016-08-31 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

The filled skutterudite compound \PrOsSb{} has been found to exhibit superconductivity with a critical temperature Tc=1.85T_\mathrm{c} = 1.85 K that develops out of a heavy Fermi liquid with an effective mass m50mem^{*} \approx 50 m_\mathrm{e}. The current experimental situation regarding the heavy fermion state, the superconducting state, and a high field, low temperature phase that is apparently associated with magnetic or quadrupolar order in \PrOsSb{} is briefly reviewed herein.
