Author's personal copy Dependence of the superconducting transition temperature of the filled skutterudite compound PrPt4Ge12 on hydrostatic pressure
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...
متن کاملSuperconductivity in the platinum germanides MPt4Ge12 (M = rare-earth or alkaline-earth metal) with filled skutterudite structure.
New germanium-platinum compounds with the filled-skutterudite crystal structure were synthesized. The crystal structure and composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction and microprobe analysis. Magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements evidence superconductivity in LaPt4Ge12 and PrPt4Ge12 below 8.3 K. The parameters of the normal and superconducting s...
متن کاملTime-reversal symmetry-breaking superconductivity in heavy-fermion PrOs4Sb12 detected by muon-spin relaxation.
We report on muon-spin relaxation measurements of the 4f(2)-based heavy-fermion superconductor filled-skutterudite Pr(Os4Sb12. The results reveal the spontaneous appearance of static internal magnetic fields below the superconducting transition temperature, providing unambiguous evidence for the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in the superconducting state. A discussion is made on which of th...

The filled skutterudite compound PrOs4Sb12 has been found to exhibit superconductivity with a critical temperature Tc = 1.85 K that develops out of a heavy Fermi liquid with an effective mass m ∗ ≈ 50 me. The current experimental situation regarding the heavy fermion state, the superconducting state, and a high field, low temperature phase that is apparently associated with magnetic or quadrupo...
