Abstract

Pressure effects on the superconductivity and magnetic order of polycrystalline Y1−xPrxBa2Cu4O8 (0<~x<~1) were investigated. It was found that Tc decreases monotonically with Pr concentration x from Tc∼80K for x=0 to Tc∼6K for x=0.7. The critical Pr concentration xcr required to suppress the Tc to zero is estimated to be around 0.72, which is larger than that (∼0.55) in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7. The normal-state resistivity remains in the same order of magnitude through whole series in contrast to a metal-insulator transition observed in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7. A change of sign in the value of (dTc/dP)P=0 in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu4O8 with Pr doping is observed which is similar to that of Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7. The TN in PrBa2Cu4O8 decreases with increasing external pressure as in PrBa2Cu3O7. The results for Tc and TN variations with Pr doping and pressure effect in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu4O8 cannot be fully explained by the recent hybridization theory.
