We report on muon-spin relaxation measurements of the 4f(2)-based heavy-fermion superconductor filled-skutterudite Pr(Os4Sb12. The results reveal the spontaneous appearance of static internal magnetic fields below the superconducting transition temperature, providing unambiguous evidence for the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. A discussion is made on which of the spin or orbital component of Cooper pairs carries a nonzero momentum.
我们报告了基于4f(2)的重费米子超导体填充方钴矿Pr(Os4Sb12)的μ子自旋弛豫测量结果。结果揭示了在超导转变温度以下静态内部磁场的自发出现,为超导态下时间反演对称性的破缺提供了明确证据。我们讨论了库珀对的自旋或轨道分量中哪一个携带非零动量。
