Surface superconductivity and order parameter suppression in UPt3

Abstract

We show that a recent measurement of surface superconductivity in UPt3 (Keller et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2364 (1994)) can be understood if the superconducting pair wavefunction is suppressed anisotropically at a vacuum to superconductor interface. Further measurements of surface superconductivity can distinguish between the various phenomenological models of superconducting UPt3.
