Superconductivity in CeRh2Si2 Under Pressure

S. Araki, M. Nakashima, R. Settai, T.C. Kobayashi, Y. Onuki

We have studied the pressure-induced superconductivity in an antiferromagnet CeRh2Si2 by measuring the electrical resistivity for a high-quality single crystal. The superconducting resistivity drop was observed around Pc \simeq 1.06 GPa, at which the Néel temperature becomes zero, namely in a pressure region from 0.97 to 1.20 GPa. The zero resistivity appears below 0.4 K between 1.03 to 1.08GPa. The resistivity at low temperatures follows the Fermi liquid AT2 relation in the whole pressure region, even at Pc. The A value becomes a maximum around Pc.
