Summary • The SC exists even in the AFM state in CePt3Si. • Novel cooper pairing state with the two-component order • parameter composed of spin-singlet and spin-triplet pairing • components may be realized in CePt3Si. • Noncentrosymmetric heavy fermion Ce-compounds may be • thought of as unconventional SC from the aspect of high • HC2(0).
