Abstract

Some features of the experimental data on nuclear spin relaxation time T1 in the heavy-fermion superconducting state can be explained by taking into account the effect of the electron Zeeman energy. It is found that at intermediate temperatures the usual quasiparticle spin-flip scattering dominates, while at very low temperatures a new process, pair creation (annihilation), dominates and gives T-11 ∝ T.
