were successfully detected using quantum oscillation technique on an ultrapure single crystal. The shape of FS was reproduced from the experimental data revealing two cylindrical quasi-two-dimensional FSs. This analysis suggests that a fairly strong nesting nature possibly leading to magnetic fluctuations responsible for the triplet superconductivity.

被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:60.04(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Approaching a quantum critical point has been an effective route to stabilize superconductivity. While the role of magnetic QCPs has been extensively discussed, similar exploration of a structural QCP is scarce. Using inelastic X-ray scattering, we examine the phonon spectrum of the nonmagnetic quasi-skutterudite (Ca

, which represents a precious system to explore the interplay between structural instabilities and superconductivity by tuning the Ca concentration x. We unambiguously detect the softening of phonon modes around the M point on cooling towards the structural transition. Intriguingly, at x = 0:85, the soft mode energy squared at the M point extrapolates to zero at -5.7 K, providing the first compelling microscopic evidence of a structural QCP in (Ca
