Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 097001 (2004) [4 pages]Superconductivity without Inversion Symmetry: MnSi versus CePt3SiSee Also: Erratum Received 15 November 2003; published 3 March 2004 Superconductivity in materials without spatial inversion symmetry is studied. We show that in contrast to common belief, spin-triplet pairing is not entirely excluded in such systems. Moreover, paramagnetic limiting is analyzed for both spin-singlet and -triplet pairing. The lack of inversion symmetry reduces the effect of the paramagnetic limiting for spin-singlet pairing. These results are applied to MnSi and CePt3Si. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
