Abstract
The pressure dependencies of the magnetic and superconducting transitions, as well as that of the superconducting upper critical field are reported for single crystalline EuRbFeAs. Resistance measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 6.21 GPa and in magnetic fields up to 9 T. Zero-field-cool magnetization measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 1.24 GPa under 20 mT applied field. Superconducting transition temperature, , up to 6.21 GPa and magnetic transition temperature, , up to 1.24 GPa were obtained and a pressure-temperature phase diagram was constructed. Our results show that is monotonically suppressed upon increasing pressure. is linearly increased up to 1.24 GPa. For the studied pressure range, no signs of the crossing of and lines are observed. The normalized slope of the superconducting upper critical field is gradually suppressed with increasing pressure, which may be due to the continuous change of Fermi-velocity with pressure.
