摘要：
Zero-field muon spin relaxation experiments have been carried out in the Pr(Os1-xRux)(4)Sb-12 and Pr1-yLayOs4Sb12 alloy systems to investigate broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS) in the superconducting state, signaled by the onset of a spontaneous static local magnetic field B-s. In both alloy series B-s initially decreases linearly with solute concentration. Ru doping is considerably more efficient than La doping, with a similar to 50% faster initial decrease. The data suggest that broken TRS is suppressed for Ru concentration x greater than or similar to 0.6 but persists for essentially all La concentrations. Our data support a crystal-field excitonic Cooper pairing mechanism for TRS-breaking superconductivity.
