Abstract

Enhancement of superconducting transition temperature Tc is confirmed at around 16 GPa in the pressure-induced superconductor CeCu_2Ge_2.The superconducting Hc-Tc phase diagrams at the low-Tc and high-Tc pressure regions indicates that the heavy quasi particles form the singlet Cooper pairs.At both low-Tc and high-Tc pressure regions, Fermi liquid behavior of ρ-- AT^2 is observed only at low temperatures below 1 K in the normal state induced by the external field above Hc2.At 21 GPa where the superconductivity disappears down to 50 mK, the temperature region following ρ-- AT^2 increases drastically up to 40 K and the coefficient A decreases rapidly.These results indicate that the strongly correlated electrons are responsible essentially for the appearance of superconductivity in this system.
