Abstract

We present results of a microwave surface impedance study of the heavy fermion superconductor UBe13. We clearly observe an absorption peak whose frequency and temperature dependence scales with the BCS gap function Δ(T). Resonant absorption into a collective mode, with energy approximately proportional to the superconducting gap, is proposed as a possible explanation. Fits to the data provide a simple relation between Δ(T) and the collective mode frequency.
