Pressure-induced superconductivity in CaLi(2).
نویسندگان
چکیده
A search for superconductivity has been carried out on the hexagonal polymorph of Laves-phase CaLi(2), a compound for which Feng, Ashcroft, and Hoffmann predict highly anomalous behavior under pressure. No superconductivity is observed above 1.10 K at ambient pressure. However, high-pressure ac susceptibility and electrical resistivity studies to 81 GPa reveal bulk superconductivity in CaLi(2) at temperatures as high as 13 K. The normal-state resistivity displays a dramatic increase with pressure.

Magnetic Study of Pressure-Induced Superconductivity in the [Pd(dmit)_{2}] Salt with Spin-Gapped Ground State
Static magnetic measurements have been applied for the pressure-induced superconducting state in the P21=m phase of EtMe3P[Pd(dmit)2]2 (Et = C2H5, Me = CH3 and dmit 2 = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5dithiolate, C3S5 2 ), which exhibits valence bond (VB) ordering with a spin gap at ambient pressure. Evidence for bulk superconductivity is given. The pressure dependence of the transition temperature (Tc...
متن کاملPressure-induced superconductivity in H2-containing hydride PbH4(H2)2
High pressure structure, stability, metallization, and superconductivity of PbH4(H2)2, a H2-containing compound combining one of the heaviest elements with the lightest element, are investigated by the first-principles calculations. The metallic character is found over the whole studied pressure range, although PbH4(H2)2 is metastable and easily decompose at low pressure. The decomposition pres...

We report the discovery of superconductivity at high pressure in SrFe(2)As(2) and BaFe(2)As(2). The superconducting transition temperatures are up to 27 K in SrFe(2)As(2) and 29 K in BaFe(2)As(2), the highest obtained for materials with pressure-induced superconductivity thus far.
متن کاملSuperconductivity induced by phosphorus doping and its coexistence with ferromagnetism in EuFe2(As0.7P0.3)(2).
We have studied EuFe2(As0.7P0.3)(2) by the measurements of x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, thermopower, magnetic susceptibility, magnetoresistance, and specific heat. Partial substitution of As with P results in the shrinkage of lattice, which generates chemical pressure to the system. It is found that EuFe2(As0.7P0.3)(2) undergoes a superconducting transition at 26 K, followed by fe...
متن کاملSuperconductivity of BaLi4 under pressure.
We studied the pressure-induced superconductivity of BaLi4 up to 53 GPa by means of electrical resistivity in a diamond anvil cell. Superconductivity in BaLi4 is first observed at a pressure of 5.4 GPa with a superconducting critical temperature (Tc) of 4.5 K. Below 2 GPa, superconductivity is not observed above the minimum temperature achievable in the current study, 2 K. Between 5.4 and 12 GP...
