Abstract

We study the upper critical field of the A and B phases in the filled skutterudite PrOs₄ Sb₁₂ within the p+h-wave superconductivity proposed recently. In PrOs₄ Sb₁₂ the actual location of the A-B transition is controversial. Also one of us (MAM) found some of high quality single crystals with a single phase. We show here all the H_{c 2}(T) data obtained by Measson et al. are consistant with that of the A phase but none of them matches to the one for the B phase. Also the present model predicts the square vortex lattice when the magnetic field is parallel to the one of the crystal axis(say [0 0 1]) in the wide region of the T-H phase diagram.
