ABSTRACT
We report the pressure (P) effect on the superconducting transition temperatureTcand the upper critical fieldµ0Hc2of infinite-layer Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2thin films by measuring the electrical transport properties under various hydrostatic pressures to 4.6 GPa. At ambient pressure, it shows the clear superconducting transition withTcâ¼ 10 K. Based on the evolution of resistanceR(T), we found that theTcis monotonically enhanced to â¼14 K upon increasing pressure to 2.9 GPa. The constructed temperature-pressure phase diagram indicates that the calculated slope dTc/dPis about 1.14 K GPa-1and the superconductingTcshows no signatures of saturation with pressure. It thus gives the possibility to further enhanceTcby employing higher pressures or heterostructure engineering. In addition, the normalized slope of upper critical fieldµ0Hc2(0) implies that the electron correlations are gradually decreasing with pressure, which exhibits an opposite evolution with superconductingTc. Our work further confirms the positive pressure effects in nickelate superconductors and gives more insight to further enhance its superconducting transition temperature.
