Progress and Puzzles in Plutonium Superconductors

J. D. Thompson, Tuson Park, N. J. Curro and J. L. Sarrao

Recent progress revealing the unconventional nature of both normal and superconducting states of PuCoGa₅ and PuRhGa₅ has cast these materials in a broader context of strongly correlated materials and phenomena. In this regard, a comparison of the Pu-based superconductors to their isostructural Ce-based counterparts suggests a set of experiments that might lead to a clearer definition of the puzzles they present.
