| We show that the properties of the heavy-electron superconducting state induced by the interorbital kinetic exchange scale with the effective mass renormalization m*/m0 ~ 1/TK. Explicitly, the pairing potential J̃ ~ J(m0/m*)ln2(m0/m*), where J is the magnitude of the bare Kondo coupling; the coherence length ξ ~ TK/Tc where Tc is the transition temperature, whereas the penetration depth λ ~ (m*/m0)½ so that λ/ξ >> 1. We also determine the scaling of magnetic critical fields. |
