NbRh$_{2}$B$_{2}$ crystallises in a chiral noncentrosymmetric structure and exhibits bulk type-II superconductivity below $7.46(5)$~K. Here we show that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field deviates from the behaviour…
We investigate properties below T_c of odd-frequency pairing which is realized by antiferromagnetic critical spin fluctuations or spin wave modes. It is shown that \Delta(\epsilon_n) becomes maximum at finite \epsilon_n, and \Delta(\pi T)…
