The superconducting transition temperature (T c ) of CdC y Ni 3 was measured under different pressures. The T c increased at rates of 0.190 and 0.017 K/GPa for samples with y ≈ 0.93 and 0.96, respectively when the pressure was increased. The effect of the pressure on the y ≈ 0.93 sample is the largest among the antiperovskite superconductors. This result can be understood based on the difference between the bulk moduli of the antiperovskite superconductors, except for the y ≈ 0.96 sample. Cr-doped CdC y Ni 3-x Cr x was synthesized and the magnetic susceptibility was measured. The T c increased from 1.87 K at x = 0 to 4 K for x values of 0.7 and 0.8. This result probably arises from a reduction in the carrier concentration, not from the chemical pressure effect by Cr doping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
