Abstract

Anomalous behavior of the specific heat and the nuclear relaxation rate in the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 are discussed in the framework of an extended Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory. Coherence and pair-breaking effect, which results from repulsive Coulomb interactions between f electrons with opposite spins, in this Kondo-lattice system have been taken into account. Numerical results are fairly consistent with experimental results. The conclusion is that CeCu2Si2 is an s-wave superconductor.
