Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:53.31(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have applied angle-resolved Ce 3
4
resonance photoemission spectroscopy to the non-centrosymmetric pressure-induced superconductor CeIrSi
and obtained the 4
band-structure and Fermi surfaces. We have found that the Ce 4
states are located mainly near the Fermi level and that the photoemission intensity derived from the dispersive conduction bands across the Fermi level shows considerable resonant enhancement. In addition, the band structure and Fermi surfaces of CeIrSi
are different from those of the non-
reference compound, LaIrSi
and the difference is well explained by the band structure calculated within the local density approximation (LDA). These results strongly suggest that the Ce 4
electrons in CeIrSi
are well hybridized with conduction bands and form itinerant electronic states.

The magnetic transition temperature of an antiferromagnet CeIrSi
decreases with increasing hydrostatic pressure, and finally superconductivity appears. An exotic superconducting symmetry is expected because of the absence of the inversion center in the crystal structure. One of the prominent features is the anomalously large upper critical field observed around the quantum critical point.

without inversion center by measureing the heat capacity and the electrical resistivity of CeIrSi

is 5.7
0.1 at 2.58 GPa. This value is the largest among previously reported superconducting materials, indicating the strong coupling superconductivity. The electronic specific heat coefficient just above

Si
, were clarified by measuring the electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect. From the results of the dHvA experiment for LaIrSi
, the Fermi surface is found to split into two Fermi surfaces due to the spin-orbit interaction arising from the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure. The electronic state of CeIrSi
is tuned from the antiferro- magnetic state to the superconducting state by applying pressure. The upper critical field H
(0) at a pressure of 2.65 GPa is found to be highly anisotropic. Large magnitude and anisotropy of H
(0) in CeIrSi
are consistent with the theoretical prediction for superconductivity in the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure.

We performed angle-resolved resonant photoemission spectroscopy on CeIrSi
. CeIrSi
is said to be the superconductor which lacks inversion symmetry and therefore the measurements of electronic conductivity, magnetoresistance, dHvA, and so on, have been made on so far. In this study, we observed extremely clear 4
derived band dispersions and Fermi surfaces. By these obtained profiles and comparison with those predicted by LDA calculation, Ce 4
electrons in CeIrSi
have relatively itinerant electronic states.

Recently, non-centrosymmetric superconductors have attracted much attention from a view point of a mixed parity of a superconducting pair wave function. CeIrSi
crystalizes in the tetragonal BaNiSn
-type crystal structure. It shows an antiferromagnetic ordering at
= 5.0 K and becomes a superconductor above 2 GPa. In this study, we have investigated CeIrSi
by measurements of the heat capacity and electrical resistivity under high pressure. We will discuss the bulk superconducting phase.
