The Dependence of T c on Hydrostatic Pressure in Superconducting MgB
نویسنده
چکیده
The dependence of Tc on pure hydrostatic pressure has been determined for the first time on the recently discovered superconductor MgB2 . Using a He-gas apparatus, we find that Tc decreases under pressure to 0.5 GPa at a significantly smaller rate, dTc/dP ≃ −1.11± 0.02 K/GPa, than found in other studies under less hydrostatic pressure conditions. The value of the logarithmic volume derivative, d lnTc/d ln V = +4.16± 0.08, derived from this and parallel structural studies under He-gas pressure, allows a quantitative comparison with theory. The observed decrease in Tc with pressure is consistent with the emerging picture that MgB2 is a BCS superconductor with electron-phonon pairing interaction.

The dependence of Tc on hydrostatic (He-gas) pressure for superconducting MgB2 has been determined to 0.7 GPa. We find that Tc decreases linearly and reversibly under pressure at the rate dTc/dP ≃ −1.11 ± 0.02 K/GPa. These studies were carried out on the same sample used in earlier structural studies under He-gas pressure which yielded the bulk modulus B = 147.2± 0.7 GPa. The value of the logar...
متن کاملThe Superconducting Phase Diagram of Li Metal to 67 Gpa
The dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T c on nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 67 GPa in an ac susceptibility measurement for a Li sample embedded in helium pressure medium. With increasing pressure, superconductivity appears at 5.47 K for 20.3 GPa, T c rising rapidly to ∼ 14 K at 30 GPa. The T c (P)-dependence to 67 GPa differs significantly from that ob...

In an experiment in a diamond anvil cell utilizing helium pressure medium, yttrium metal displays a superconducting transition temperature which increases monotonically from T c ≃ 3.5 K at 30 GPa to 17 K at 89.3 GPa, one of the highest transition temperatures for any elemental superconductor. The pressure dependence of T c differs substantially from that observed in previous studies under quasi...
