Notes:
Since their discovery in 1977 the rare earth ternary superconductors have provided a number of unusual phenomena regarding the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity. In the case of the reentrant superconductors ErRh4B4 and HoMo6S8 the importance of the electromagnetic interaction, in determining the physical properties of these materials, was realized shortly after their discovery. More recent single crystal data indicate that in addition to the electromagnetic interaction the d–f interaction, although weak, gives rise to a number of dramatic properties notably the appearance of a first order transition at the upper critical field Hc2. In this paper we outline a formalism which successfully incorporates both the electromagnetic interaction together with the d–f interaction in a mutually consistent manner. The results of our analysis based on this formalism are presented for the case of ErRh4B4 together with a comparison with the recent monocrystalline data.
