The field dependence of electron effective mass in uranium superconductors

Abstract

The magnetic field dependence of electron effective mass is an important subject in consideration of physical properties of superconducting ferromagnets URhGe, UCoGe and paramagnet UTe$_2$. It is usually accepted to find this dependence from the field dependence of $A$ coefficient in the low temperature resistivity law $\rho=\rho_0+AT^2$. It is shown here that the field dependence $A(H)$ takes place also for field-independent effective mass. Whether or not the effective mass depends on the magnetic field can be checked by the measurements of the amplitude of de Haas - van Alphen magnetisation oscillations.
