The RNi 2 B 2 C (R = Gd-Lu, Y) series of compounds offers a spacious testing ground for the interaction between 4f and conduction electrons and specifically for interactions between local magnetic moments and the superconducting ground state.In this review we will survey the effects that local moments have on the superconducting transition temperature (T c ), the upper superconducting critical fie...
