Abstract
The superconducting properties of the spin fluctuation-superconductor Mo3Sb7 have been investigated by specific heat measurements down to 0.5K and under magnetic fields of up to 2T. The obtained temperature and magnetic field dependences of the electronic specific heat strongly suggest a conventional s-wave pairing, while possible (s+g)-wave pairing symmetry has been proposed earlier. In addition, the temperature dependence of the upper critical field Hc2 is fully consistent with the Werthamer–Helfand–Hohenberg theory predicting its behavior for a conventional phonon-mediated type II superconductor.
