Abstract

LaRu3Si2 is of current research interest as a kagome metal with a superconducting transition temperature, Tc∼7 K, and higher-temperature charge density wave orders. Here we report on electrical transport and x-ray diffraction measurements on LaRu3Si2 under pressure up to 65 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively. The superconducting transition temperature Tc first gets slightly enhanced and reaches a maximum ∼8.7 K at ∼8.5 GPa. With further applied pressure, Tc is initially gradually suppressed, then more rapidly suppressed, followed by gradual suppression, revealing a superconducting dome. Two possible pressure-induced structural phase transitions are also observed at room temperature, from the original hexagonal phase to another hexagonal structure above ∼11.5 GPa, and further to a structure with lower symmetry above ∼23.5 GPa. These transition pressures roughly correlate with features found in our pressure-dependent transport data.
