Abstract

The existence of antiferromagnetism in rare-earth superconductors exhibits varieties of new physical phenomena. Experiments have highlighted the magnetic specific heat anomalies in antiferromagnetic superconductor. Structured around a Ginzburg-Landau theory, this article presents the role of magnetic field on the specific heat near the antiferromagnetic superconductor phase to normal state phase transition in rare-earth superconductors. The magnetic specific heat is calculated both at the antiferromagnetic superconductor phase and normal state. The qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is discussed.
