Abstract
We report on resistivity measurements under applied magnetic fields up to 20 kOe on several HoNi 2B 2C samples with different phase composition. The results reveal occurence of three distinct states: a re-entrant superconducting state; a state where superconductivity and magnetism coexist and a non-superconductivity magnetic state, all within the homogeneity range of the compound. The upper critical fields curves show a non-monotonic behaviou, reflecting the influence of the antiferromagnetic and spiral magnetic transitions between 5 and 6.5 K and are also dependent on phase composition. The results are qualitatively discussed in the framework of multiple pairbreaking theory.
