Abstract
We report the synthesis and physical properties of a nickel-based arsenide ThNiAsN. The new compound crystallizes in a ZrCuSiAs-type structure (space group ) with lattice parameters and . Bulk superconductivity at is demonstrated by the measurements of electrical resistivity, dc magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity. The upper critical field at zero temperature, , and the specific-heat jump at Tc are 6.1 T and , respectively. These two physical quantities, together with the Tc value, are the highest among the Ni-based ZrCuSiAs-type materials. We discuss this enhanced superconductivity in terms of the internal chemical pressure in ThNiAsN.
