dc.descriptionA weak-coupling formalism for superconducting states possessing both singlet (even parity) and triplet (odd parity) components of the order parameter in centrosymmetric crystals is developed. It is shown that the quasiparticle energy spectrum may be non-degenerate even if the triplet component is unitary. The superconducting gap of a mixed-parity state may have line nodes in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit. The pseudospin carried by the superconducting electrons is calculated, from which follows a prediction of a kink anomaly in the temperature dependence of muon spin relaxation rate. The anomaly occurs at the phase boundary between the bare triplet and mixed-parity states. The stability of mixed-parity states is discussed within Ginzburg-Landau theory. The results may have immediate application to the superconducting series Pr(Os,Ru)4Sb12.
