Ternary CePt3Si crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm structure which lacks a center of inversion. Antiferromagnetic order sets in at TN 2.2 K followed by superconductivity (SC) below Tc 0.75 K. Large values of Hc2 −8.5 T/K and Hc2(0) 4 to 5 T were derived, referring to Cooper pairs formed out of heavy quasiparticles. The mass enhancement originates from Kondo interactions with a characteristic temperature TK of roughly 10 K. NMR and µSR results show that both magnetic order and SC coexist on a microscopic scale without having spatial segregation of both phenomena. The absence of an inversion symmetry gives rise to a lifting of the degeneracy of electronic bands by spin-orbit coupling. As a consequence, the SC order parameter may be composed of spin-singlet and spin-triplet components as indicated from a very unique NMR relaxation rate 1/T1 and a linear temperature dependence of the penetration depth . A helical modification of the order parameter would explain the absence of significant anisotropy of the upper critical field when comparing the field parallel and perpendicular to the axis. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
