UPd2Al3 is a unique and fascinating material, in which the 5f electrons of uranium atoms are responsible not only for an antiferromagnetically ordered state, but also for superconductivity. Of special interest is the interaction between magnetism and superconductivity; magnetic order may both compete and coexist with the superconducting state and magnetic fluctuations may even assist the formation of Cooper pairs. We present experimental results of inelastic neutron scattering measurements, and also give an analysis within a phenomenological model, which leads us to suggest that UPd2Al3 is a magnetic exciton-mediated strong-coupling superconductor. It is particularly interesting to compare the neutron scattering spectra to those deduced from tunneling experiments reported by Jourdan et al. Our calculations within the Eliashberg equation clearly show the consistency between those spectra. We will represent all of these measured and calculated results at the Meeting.
