Abstract

Pressure studies of CeRh1−xIrxIn5 indicate two superconducting phases as a function of x, one with Tc⩾2K for x<0.9 and the other with Tc<1.2K for x>0.9. The higher Tc phase, phase 1, emerges in proximity to an antiferromagnetic quantum-critical point; whereas, Cooper pairing in the lower Tc phase 2 is inferred to arise from fluctuations of a yet to be found magnetic state. The T−x−P phase diagram of CeRh1−xIrxIn5, though qualitatively similar, is distinctly different from that of CeCu2(Si1−xGex)2.
