Pressure-temperature phase diagram of CeNiGe 3 is reinvestigated with electrical resistivity measurement up to p ∼ 4 GPa utilizing a single crystal under the better hydrostatic condition. We discovered that the new successive phase transition appears above p ∼ 3.7 GPa in the antiferromagnetic phase (AFM-I), and the superconductivity disappears simultaneously. The application of magnetic field along the a-axis suppresses the successive transition, indicating that the new pressure-induced phase is considered as an antiferromagnetic phase (AFM-II) with a small magnetization compared with that of the AFM-I phase. We found that the ordered state in the AFM-II phase is conclusively different from the commensurate AFM-I state which was observed in the previous nuclear-quadrupoleresonance study, and the superconductivity can coexist with the commensurate AFM-I state, but not with the AFM-II state.
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.
