Abstract

Combined ac-susceptibility and ac-calorimetry measurements under hydrostatic pressure on new single crystals of the spin-ladder system Sr14−xCaxCu24O41 (x=12) in good hydrostatic conditions allow us to unambiguously establish the phase diagram. We show that bulk superconductivity and antiferromagnetic order coexist over a wide pressure range, which is quite rare in strongly correlated systems where the same electrons participate in superconductivity and magnetic order. We suggest that this is possible by the special microscopic structure of this material, containing ladders and chains, with a weak coupling between the two.
