Abstract
AbstractThe Effect of pressure on the superconducting transition temperature of Yb doped Ce0.6Yb0.4FeAsO0.9F0.1 has been investigated for the first time using resistivity and magnetization studies. Increase in chemical pressure by substitution of smaller Yb3+ ions in place of Ce3+ ions results in a significant enhancement of Tc from 38 K (Yb free) to 47 K (40% Yb). Enhancement in Tc with external pressure has been observed for this compound up to a maximum value of Tc = 48.7 K at 1 GPa, beyond which Tc starts decreasing monotonously.
