Abstract

Dilatometric and magnetic studies on single crystals of the high-κ superconductors UPd2Al3 and CeRu2 reveal a spontaneous increase of the volume-pinning force at high magnetic fields of more than one order of magnitude. This “anomalous peak effect” was claimed to be a signature of a new staggered high-field superconducting order parameter. We will review the recent developments and discuss alternative explantations.
