The inhomogeneous 3 Kelvin phase is most likely a superconducting state nucleating at the interface between micrometer-sized Ru-metal inclusions and Sr 2 RuO 4 above the bulk onset of superconductivity. This filamentary superconducting state yields a characteristic temperature dependence of the upper critical field which is sublinear, i.e., H c2 ( T ) ∝( T * - T ) γ with 0.5 ≤γ< 1 ( T * : nucleation temperature). The Ginzburg–Landau theory is used to analyze the behavior of the nucleated spin–triplet phase in a field and the characteristic features of H c2 observed in the experiment are explained based on a two-component order parameter in the presence of a filament of enhanced superconductivity with a finite width.
