arXiv:1207.0215 · doi:10.1143/JPSJ.81.083702

Abstract

The cubic compound PrTiAl is a quadrupolar Kondo lattice system that exhibits quadrupolar ordering due to the non-Kramers ground doublet and has strong hybridization between and conduction electrons. Our study using high-purity single crystal reveals that PrTiAl exhibits type-II superconductivity at mK in the nonmagnetic ferroquadrupolar state. The superconducting critical temperature and field phase diagram suggests moderately enhanced effective mass of .
