Abstract In the normal phase of UPt3, the magnetoresistivity is large and positive with the striking feature of a quasi-independence of the temperature and magnetic field terms; the thermoelectric power has aT 2 dependence and the susceptibility is almost constant up to 4 K. The superconducting transition is broadened and the specific heat jump is weak due to the strong anisotropy of its normal phase. FromT c to 146 mK (the lowest experimental temperature), a largeT 2 contribution is observed in the specific heat, but the thermal conductivity has the same dependence only below 150 mK. These results are compared with the predictions given for polar odd-pairing superconductivity.
