Based on a recent proposal [O.P. Sushkov, Phys. Rev. B 64, 155319 (2001)], we relate the quantum conductance through a sample in which electrons are strongly correlated to the persistent current of a large ring, composed of the sample and a…
The thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, of the heavy fermion superconductor UPt$_3$ was measured down to T$_c$/10. The absence of a linear term in the temperature dependence as T$\rightarrow$0 strongly suggests there are no zero energy…
