We report a coexistence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in five-layered compound HgBa2Ca4Cu5Oy (Hg-1245) with Tc = 108 K, which is composed of two types of CuO2 planes in a unit cell; three inner planes (IP's) and two outer planes (OP's). The Cu-NMR study has revealed that the optimallydoped OP undergoes a superconducting (SC) transition at Tc = 108 K, whereas the three underdoped IP's do an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition below TN ∼ 60 K with the Cu moments of ∼ (0.3 − 0.4)µB . Thus bulk superconductivity with a high value of Tc = 108 K and a static AF ordering at TN = 60 K are realized in the alternating AF and SC layers. The AF-spin polarization at the IP is found to induce the Cu moments of ∼ 0.02µB at the SC OP, which is the AF proximity effect into the SC OP.
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.
