超伝導体PuCoGa$$_{5}$$は比較的高い転移温度(T$$_{c}$$=18.5K)と中程度の質量増加(ゾンマーフェルト係数$$cong$$80mJ/mol-K$$^{2}$$)を持ち、スピン揺らぎを起源とするd波超伝導を示す。この系は放射性を持ち、$$^{239}$$Puでは2.4$$times$$10$$^{4}$$年が半減期となる。この系で作成後400日が経過した試料(T$$_{c}$$=15K)において$$mu$$SR実験を行い、磁場侵入長の温度と磁場に対する依存性$$lambda$$(T,H)を調べ、以前測定した同じ試料における結果と比較しながら報告する。600Oeの磁場中で測定では、どちらの試料においてもT/T$$_{c}quad<$$0.5の低温域において温度に線形な振る舞い$$lambda$$(T)-$$lambda$$(0)=bTが観測され、温度係数bは同じ値となった。$$lambda$$(0)の大きさは経時変化した試料において約1.8倍増加している。講演ではd波超伝導体における照射効果について議論する。

The superconductor PuCoGa$$_{5}$$ possesses a relatively high critical temperature (T$$_{c}$$ = 18.5 K), a moderate mass enhancement (Sommerfeld coefficient $$cong $$ 80 mJ/mol-K$$^{2})$$ and exhibits behavior consistent with spin-fluctuation-induced d-wave superconductivity. It is also radioactive, with its dominant radioisotope $$^{239}$$Pu having a half-life of 2.4 $$times$$ 10$$^{4}$$ yrs. We report $$mu $$SR measurements of the temperature and field dependence of the magnetic field penetration depth $$lambda $$(T,H) in a 400 day-old sample of PuCoGa$$_{5}$$ (T$$_{c}$$ = 15 K), and compare these results to data obtained on the same sample approximately one year earlier. In 600 Oe applied field both measurements show a linear low-temperature behavior for $$lambda $$(T) - $$lambda $$(0) = bT for T/T$$_{c} quad <$$ 0.5 with the same coefficient b. The magnitude of $$lambda $$(0) in the aged sample has increased by a factor of about 1.8. The results are discussed in terms of the effects of radiation damage on the postulated d-wave superconducting order parameter.
