Abstract

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in two classes of superconductors, heavy-fermion superconductors and high-Tc copper oxide superconductors. The behavior and nature of superconductivity in these two classes of materials are reviewed, and their similarities and differences are noted. The temperature dependences of the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and the spin-spin relaxation time (T2) of Be9 in UBe13 are quite similar to those of Cu63 and Y89 in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. The Knight shift of UBe13 is unchanged during the superconducting phase transition. The Knight shift of YBa2Cu3O7−δ changes from the value in the normal state Kn/Ks=1 at T≥Tc to Kn/Ks=0.5 and T=6 K. Both do not approach zero as expected in BCS theory. This strongly suggests that the pairing mechanism which induces superconductivity in heavy-fermion materials might also be involved in high-Tc superconductors.
