Abstract

The electrical resistivity ρ(T) and heat capacity C(T) on single crystals of SrNi2As2 and EuNi2As2 are reported. While there is no evidence for a structural transition in either compound, SrNi2As2 is found to be a bulk superconductor at Tc=0.62 K with a Sommerfeld coefficient of γ=8.7 mJ/mol K2 and a small upper critical field Hc2∼200 Oe. No superconductivity was found in EuNi2As2 above 0.4 K, but anomalies in ρ and C reveal that magnetic order associated with the Eu2+ magnetic moments occurs at Tm=14 K.
