摘要
High-pressure resistivity measurements are performed on a high-quality single crystal of the beta-pyrochlore oxide KOs2O6 in the pressure range of 1.0 to 5.0 GPa. The superconducting transition temperature T-c increases slightly from 9.6 K at ambient pressure to 9.8 K at 1.0 GPa, decreases gradually with increasing pressure, and suddenly drops from 6.5 K to 3.2 K across P-s = 3.6 GPa. The drop of T-c at P-s is likely to be related to a change in the rattling vibration associated with a symmetry-breaking structural transition. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
