Abstract The kagome metals AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, Cs) under ambient pressure exhibit an unusual charge order, from which superconductivity emerges. In this work, by applying hydrostatic pressure using a liquid pressure medium and carrying out electrical resistance measurements for RbV3Sb5, we find the charge order becomes suppressed under a modest pressure p c (1.4 < p c < 1.6 GPa), while the superconducting transition temperature T c is maximized. T c is then gradually weakened with further increase of pressure and reaches a minimum around 14.3 GPa, before exhibiting another maximum around 22.8 GPa, signifying the presence of a second superconducting dome. Distinct behaviors in the normal state resistance are found to be associated with the second superconducting dome, similar to KV3Sb5. Our findings point to qualitatively similar temperature-pressure phase diagrams in KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5, and suggest a close link between the second superconducting dome and the high-pressure normal state resistance.

ABSTRACTBulk samples of YBa2Cu3O7−x have been homogenously irradiated with 3 MeV electrons at temperatures below 20 K. Whereas the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, drops dramatically with increasing dose the width of the transition remains unchanged (Δ Tc ≤ 1.5 K). The normal state resistance at 100 K increases substantially during the electron irradiation. Several irreproducible experiments can be interpreted with a radiation induced, unstable increase of Tc.

The pressure dependence of the superconductivity of the Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O sample with T c >110 K was studied. It is observed that the superconducting transition temperature increases at the rate of d T co / d P≈1.83 K/GPa up to 1.8K/GPa and the gentle steps of T c are always followed by a jump of the normal state resistance which is considered exhibiting the change of some fine structure related to the Cu-O planes.

We have studied the pressure effects of superconducting Ba 1−x K x BiO 3 for x=0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and 0.40 up to ~16 kbar . The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, increases linearly with pressure, P. We have found that dTc/dP decreases with increasing Tc, and reaches ~0 around Tc~29 K. For the x=0.35 sample, resistance reappears below Tc for pressure >12 kbar. This resistance depends strongly on the applied current. It becomes greater than the normal state resistance and noisy at high current.
