Author's personal copy Dependence of the superconducting transition temperature of the filled skutterudite compound PrPt4Ge12 on hydrostatic pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature-dependent ac susceptibility of the filled skutterudite superconductor PrPt4Ge12 has been measured under hydrostatic He-gas pressure to 0.58 GPa. The superconducting transition temperature Tc decreases linearly with pressure P from 7.91 K at ambient pressure to 7.83 K at 0.58 GPa, giving the rate dTc/dP = 0.19 ± 0.03 K/GPa. Evidence is presented that suggests that the value of Tc in this compound is slightly reduced due to magnetic pair-breaking effects from the Pr cations. 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملAuthor's personal copy Dependence of magnetic ordering temperature of doped and undoped EuFe2As2 on hydrostatic pressure to 0.8 GPa
The ac susceptibility of single crystalline tetragonal EuFe2As2, EuFe2As1.4P0.6, and EuFe1.715Co0.285As2 has been measured over the temperature and hydrostatic (He-gas) pressure ranges 10–60 K and 0–0.8 GPa, respectively. For all three samples the magnetic ordering temperature (17–19 K) from the Eu sublattice increases linearly with pressure, presumably due to the enhanced exchange coupling bet...
