Abstract:
The properties of antiferromagnetic superconductors are discussed. There is an emphasis on their anomalous behavior: the gapless nature of the superconductivity, the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the upper critical field, the possible appearance of self-induced vortices at domain walls, and the unusual spin-wave spectrum. Possible phases in which superconductivity coexists with weak ferromagnetism are analyzed.
