Correlation between superconducting and magnetic transition temperatures of R{sub 1{minus}x}Nd{sub x}Ni{sub 2}B{sub 2}C (R = Y, Ho, Er)

Journal Article · · Journal of Low Temperature Physics

The variations of the superconducting transition temperature {Tc} and the magnetic transition temperature T{sub N} as a function of the Nd concentration x in R{sub 1{minus}x}Nd{sub x}Ni{sub 2}B{sub 2}C (R = Y, Ho, and Er) systems is systematically studied by the measurements of electrical resistivity and magnetization. It is found that the Nd substitution in R{sub 1{minus}x}Nd{sub x}Ni{sub 2}B{sub 2}C show an effect to break Cooper pairs. The de Gennes scaling on the variation of {Tc} is also discussed.
