Abstract

Results are reported of the effects of Nd substitutions, on the recently discovered anomalous superconducting behaviour near the HC2(T) line of the C15-Laves phase compound CeRu2. Small amount of Nd-doping enhances both the TC and HC2 substantially, while retaining the anomalous superconducting behaviour (observed in good single crystals of pure CeRu2) with all its characteristic features. These results provide clear indication that: (1) the enhanced magnetic susceptibility is playing a very crucial role in the anomalous superconducting behaviour of CeRu2; (2) the large electronic mean free path is not a stringent for the observation of such an anomalous behaviour.
