Abstract

We have investigated the superconducting properties of

{UPt}_{3}

by determining the Meissner effect via ac and dc susceptibility and magnetization measurements. We found an upper and lower limit of the superconducting volume fraction of 80% and 30% with magnetization and flux expulsion experiments, respectively. Thus, the superconductivity of

{UPt}_{3}

is a bulk property.
