Abstract

We report muon spin rotation measurements on the antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion superconductor UPd2Al3 in the superconducting state. The London penetration depth is found to be approximately isotropic, lambda(perpendicular to)(0) = 4800 +/- 500 Angstrom and lambda(parallel to)(0) = 4500 +/- 500 Angstrom. The mu(+) Knight shift behavior below T-c indicates that local moment magnetism and superconductivity are carried by different electron substrates of 5f character, one of which involves the heavy quasiparticles. For the latter a nearly isotropic magnetic susceptibility (chi) = 1.7 x 10(-3) emu/mole can be estimated.
