Abstract

The pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature Tc of amorphous ZrxNi100−x alloys (x=80, 71, 67, 63.5 60, 55) has been studied under quasihydrostatic pressure to 8 GPa. For amorphous samples having Zr concentration x>60, ∂Tc/∂p is possitive in sign and it decreases nonlinearly with increasing x, whereas ∂Tc/∂P is negative in sign for 55 at. % Zr concentration. These results were explained in terms of character change of the conduction carriers at the Fermi surface. In addition, for Zr80Ni20 we observed the formation of the ω-Zr phase for pressures greater than 2 GPa.
