Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:54.5(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have applied angle-resolved Ce 34 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.

The electrical resistivity and ac heat capacity were measured in the same run for the same sample. The critical pressure of the antiferromagnetic state was determined to be = 2.25 GPa. The co-existence of the antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is discussed. The superconducting region is extended up to about 3.5 GPa. The superconducting transition temperature shows a maximum value of 1.6 K around GPa. At 2.58 GPa, a large heat capacity anomaly was observed at = 1.59 K.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:6.29(Physics, Condensed Matter)We present the result of an antiferromagnet CeIrSi without inversion center by measureing the heat capacity and the electrical resistivity of CeIrSi. Both physical quantities were measured in the same run for the same single crystal sample. A huge heat capacity anomaly was observed at the superconducting transition temperature = 1.6 K where the zero-resistivity was observed. The jump of the heat capacity 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 is roughly estimated to be 100 20 mJ/Kmol at 2.58 GPa, which is the same as = 120 20 mJ/Kmol at ambient pressure.

Times Cited Count:87 Percentile:91.73(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Single crystals of LaIrSi and CeIrSi were grown by the Czochralski pulling method in a tetra-arc furnace and the magnetic and superconducting properties, together with super- conductivity in CeIrCoSi, 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.

The antiferromagnetic ordering was confirmed to be = 7.2 K. The electronic specific heat coefficient was determined as 77 mJ/KmolCe. The antiferromagnetic easy-axis was found to be the [001] direction, with an ordered moment of = 1.3 /Ce, while [100] and [010] directions are hard-axes in magnetization. We observed a metamagnetic transition at 5.7 T for [001] and a saturation of magnetization above 12.1 T. The characteristic magnetic phase diagram was constructed. The crystalline electric field (CEF) scheme was proposed for CePdSi, where the splitting energies between the ground state and two excited doublets in the CEF scheme are estimated to be 87 K and 504 K, respectively.

The detected dHvA branches are similar between the two compounds. All the dHvA branches in LaCoGe are well explained by the results of energy band calculations. There exist three types of compenstated Fermi surfaces. Each Fermi surface is found to consist of two types of similar Fermi surfaces, which is characteristic in the crystal structure without inversion symmetry. The main dHvA branch of LaCoGe is found to possess the relatively large cyclotron mass 10 (: rest mass of an electron), which is compared to 1m_0 in LaCoGe.

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.
