We have performed low-temperature specific-heat measurements in magnetic fields for a single crystal UBe13. It has been observed that our sample exhibits a superconducting transition at an intermediate temperature between previously reported values for two variant samples called H type and L type. The specific heat C(T) of our sample shows a T^3 behavior in the temperature range below 0.7 Tc, which is similar to the behavior of the H-type sample, suggesting the existence of point nodes in the superconducting gap function. We have obtained the upper-critical-field curves Hc2 for the [001], [110], and [111] crystal axes, which show no anisotropy at least down to the lowest measured temperature of 0.5 K. We have also derived the Maki parameter kappa2, and it has been revealed that the kappa2 steeply decreases isotropically upon cooling just below Tc. Paramagnetic effects and the symmetry of Cooper pairing of UBe13 are discussed.

We studied the anisotropy of the superconducting upper critical field $H_{rm c2}$ in the heavy-fermion superconductor UTe$_2$ under hydrostatic pressure by magnetoresistivity measurements. In agreement with previous experiments we confirm that superc
onductivity disappears near a critical pressure $p_{rm c} approx 1.5$~GPa, and a magnetically ordered state appears. The unusual $H_{rm c2}(T)$ at low temperatures for $H parallel a$ suggests that the multiple superconducting phases which appear under pressure have quite different $H_{rm c2}$. For a field applied along the hard magnetization $b$ axis $H_{rm c2} (0)$ is glued to the metamagnetic transition $H_{rm m}$ which is suppressed near $p_{rm c}$. The suppression of $H_{rm m}$ with pressure follows the decrease of temperature $T_{chi}^{rm max}$, at the maximum in the susceptibility along $b$. The strong reinforcement of $H_{rm c2}$ at ambient pressure for $H parallel b$ above 16~T is rapidly suppressed under pressure due to the increase of $T_{rm sc}$ and the decrease of $H_{rm m}$. The change in the hierarchy of the anisotropy of $H_{rm c2}(0)$ on approaching $p_{rm c}$ points out that the $c$ axis becomes the hard magnetization axis.
The crystalline electric field (CEF) energy level scheme of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn_5 has been determined by means of inelastic neutron scattering (INS). Peaks observed in the INS spectra at 8 meV and 27 meV with incident neutron ener
gies between E_i=30-60 meV and at a temperature T = 10 K correspond to transitions from the ground state to the two excited states, respectively. The wavevector and temperature dependence of these peaks are consistent with CEF excitations. Fits of the data to a CEF model yield the CEF parameters B^0_2=-0.80 meV, B^0_4=0.059 meV, and |B^4_4|= 0.137 meV corresponding to an energy level scheme: Gamma_7^(1) (0)[=0.487|+/-5/2> - 0.873|-/+3/2>], Gamma_7^(2) (8.6 meV, 100 K), and Gamma_6 (24.4 meV, 283 K).
Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations and upper critical magnetic field ($H_{c2}$) of the iron-based superconductor FeSe ($T_c$ = 8.6 K) have been studied by tunnel diode oscillator-based measurements in magnetic fields of up to 55 T and temperatures
down to 1.6 K. Several Fourier components enter the SdH oscillations spectrum with frequencies definitely smaller than predicted by band structure calculations indicating band renormalization and reconstruction of the Fermi surface at low temperature, in line with previous ARPES data. The Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg model accounts for the temperature dependence of $H_{c2}$ for magnetic field applied both parallel (textbf{H} $|$ $ab$) and perpendicular (textbf{H} $|$ $c$) to the iron conducting plane, suggesting that one band mainly controls the superconducting properties in magnetic fields despite the multiband nature of the Fermi surface. Whereas Pauli pair breaking is negligible for textbf{H} $|$ $c$, a Pauli paramagnetic contribution is evidenced for textbf{H} $|$ $ab$ with Maki parameter $alpha$ = 2.1, corresponding to Pauli field $H_{P}$ = 36.5 T
$beta$-YbAlB$_4$ is the first Yb-based heavy fermion superconductor with $T_{rm c} = 80$ mK. We measured low temperature magnetization of high-purity single crystals down to $T=$ 25 mK. The measurements have revealed a considerable amount of volume f
ractions of the superconductivity and the upper critical field $B_{c2}$ curve under field along the c axis, consistent with the previous results. In the normal state, the previously observed divergent behavior in the temperature dependence of the magnetization has been confirmed using higher quality samples and under a low field of 22 mT. In addition, the measurements have revealed a power law behavior, namely, $dM/dTpropto T^{3/2}$, which has a slightly higher exponent than the previous results.
The superconducting order parameter of the first heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 is currently under debate. A key ingredient to understand its superconductivity and physical properties is the quasiparticle dispersion and Fermi surface, which re
mains elusive experimentally. Here we present measurements from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results emphasize the key role played by the Ce 4f electrons for the low-temperature Fermi surface, highlighting a band-dependent conduction-f electron hybridization. In particular, we find a very heavy quasi-two-dimensional electron band near the bulk X point and moderately heavy three-dimensional hole pockets near the Z point. Comparison with theoretical calculations reveals the strong local correlation in this compound, calling for further theoretical studies. Our results provide the electronic basis to understand the heavy fermion behavior and superconductivity; implications for the enigmatic superconductivity of this compound are also discussed.
