We measured the electrical resistivity under pressure for an antiferromagnet CeCoGe 3 without inversion symmetry in the tetragonal crystal structure. The Néel temperature T N1 = 21 K at ambient pressure decreases monotonically with increasing pressure, and becomes zero at about 5.5 GPa. Superconductivity appears above 4.3 GPa, with a superconduting transition temperature T sc = 0.72 K and a large upper critical field H c2 (0) = 7 T at 5.6 GPa. The large upper critical field H c2 (0)= 7 T exceeds the Pauli limitting field H p (≃ 1.86T sc )=1.3 T as in CePt 3 Si , CeRhSi 3 and CeIrSi 3. The large slope of H c2 at T sc , -dH c2 /dT = 18 T/K , at 5.6 GPa indicates the heavy-fermion superconductivity in CeCoGe 3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
