Abstract
We have determined the crystal structures and superconducting transition temperatures of La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 under nearly hydrostatic pressures in diamond anvil cells to 5.0 GPa and 19.0 GPa, respectively. Synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction measurements were used to establish the pressure-temperature structural phase diagram. Under pressure the superconducting transition temperature increases rapidly from Tc = 3 K to a maximum value of 22 K at 5 GPa, a pressure slightly greater than that required to stabilize the undistorted I4/mmm structure in the superconducting state. Increasing the pressure further to 19 GPa leads to a decrease in Tc to ~12 K. These results are discussed in relation to earlier high pressure measurements for similar materials.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a monthly journal that focuses on the functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. It serves as an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on the functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Some specific areas of interest include the structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids, and other macromolecules, DNA replication, repair and recombination, transcription, regulation of transcription and translation, protein folding, processing and degradation, signal transduction, and intracellular signaling.
