Abstract

We report ac susceptibility measurements of polycrystalline CePt3Si down to 60 mK and in applied fields up to 9 T. In a zero applied field, a full Meissner state emerges at temperatures T/Tc<0.3, where Tc=0.65 K is the onset transition temperature. Though transport measurements show a relatively high upper critical field Bc2∼4–5 T, the low-temperature susceptibility χ′ is quite fragile to the applied field, with χ′ diminishing rapidly in fields of a few kG. Interestingly, the field dependence of χ′ is well described by the power law 4πχ′+1=(B/Bc)1/2, where Bc is the field at which the onset of resistance is observed in transport measurements.
