Pressure-induced superconductivity and its scaling with doping-induced superconductivity in the iron pnictide with skutterudite intermediary layers

Abstract

Pressure-induced superconductivity is oberserved in Ca10 (Pt3 As8 )(Fe2 As2 )5 by in situ high-pressure resistance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Scaling of the pressure-induced and doping-induced superconductivity shows that the electronic phase diagrams of the pressurized and chemically doped 10-3-8 compound are similar in the moderate pressure and doping range but are disparate at higher pressure and heavy doping.

Keywords: high pressure study; iron pnictide; superconducting materials.
