Abstract

The pressure (0--14 kbar) and the temperature (0.3--4.2 K) dependences of the magnetic susceptibility of the mercury chain crystal Hg/sub 3-delta/ AsF/sub 6/ are reported. We find that hydrostatic pressure suppresses both of the superconducting transition temperatures. The behavior of the upper transition temperature is discussed in terms of the elemental Hg inclusions inside the crystal which appear to nucleate the anisotropic superconductivity. The possibility of the existence of triplet superconductivity in Hg/sub 3-delta/ AsF/sub 6/ associated with the lower transition temperature is discussed as well.
