Abstract
Superconductivity has been observed in at and appears to involve heavy fermion quasiparticles with an effective mass as inferred from the jump in the specific heat at the upper critical field near and the normal state electronic specific heat. Thermodynamic and transport measurements suggest that the heavy fermion state has a quadrupolar origin, although a magnetic origin cannot be completely ruled out.
