Abstract

The pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) has been determined up to ∼2.5 GPa for solid-solution In-Tl alloys with compositions between 31.5 and 36.5 at. % Tl. The cusp in Tc as a function of composition, that has been associated with the fcc-fct phase boundary at zero pressure, is found to move to higher thallium concentrations with increasing pressure. This is interpreted as a pressure-induced stabilization of the fct phase resulting from changes in the Fermi surface–Brillouin zone boundary overlap.
