Pressure assisted enhancement in superconducting properties of Fe substituted NbSe2 single crystal

Abstract The impact of hydrostatic pressure (P) up to 1 GPa on T c , J c and the nature of the pinning mechanism in FexNbSe2 single crystals have been investigated within the framework of the collective theory. We found that the pressure can induce a transition from the regime where pinning is contr...
