چکیده

The dependence of Tc for MgB2 on purely hydrostatic or nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 29 GPa for single-crystalline and to 32 GPa for polycrystalline samples, and found to be in good agreement. Tc decreases from 39 K at ambient pressure to 15 K at 32 GPa with an initial slope dTc=dP ’ 1:11ð2Þ K/GPa. Evidence is presented that the differing values of dTc=dP reported in the literature may result primarily from shear-stress effects in nonhydrostatic pressure media rather than from differences in the samples. Although comparison of these results with theory supports phonon-mediated superconductivity, a critical test of theory must await calculations based on the solution of the anisotropic Eliashberg equations as a function of the lattice parameters. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

The Dependence of T c on Hydrostatic Pressure in Superconducting MgB

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, ...

1 M ay 2 00 1 The Dependence of T c on Hydrostatic Pressure in Superconducting MgB

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...
