Abstract

A new pairing mechanism is proposed for metals such as Pr that have a crystal-field singlet ground state for the 4f-electrons. It results from the electron-electron interaction mediated by virtual excitation of the singlet ground state. The Eliashberg equation is analyzed to estimate dynamical effects coming from the van Vleck susceptibility.
