Abstract

Here we report the preparation and superconductivity of the 133-type Cr-based quasi–one-dimensional (Q1D) RbCr3As3 single crystals. The samples were prepared by the deintercalation of Rb+ ions from the 233-type Rb2Cr3As3 crystals which were grown from a high-temperature solution growth method. The RbCr3As3 compound crystallizes in a centrosymmetric structure with the space group P63/m (No. 176) different from its non-centrosymmetric Rb2Cr3As3 superconducting precursor, and the refined lattice parameters are and . Electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility characterizations reveal the occurrence of superconductivity with an interestingly higher onset Tc of 7.3 K than other Cr-based superconductors, and an estimated high upper critical field Hc2(0) about 72.4 T in this 133-type RbCr3As3 crystals.
