Abstract

The pressure dependencies of the magnetic and superconducting transitions, as well as that of the superconducting upper critical field are reported for single crystalline EuRbFe4_4As4_4. Resistance measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 6.21 GPa and in magnetic fields up to 9 T. Zero-field-cool magnetization measurements were performed under hydrostatic pressures up to 1.24 GPa under 20 mT applied field. Superconducting transition temperature, TcT_\text c, up to 6.21 GPa and magnetic transition temperature, TMT_\text M, up to 1.24 GPa were obtained and a pressure-temperature phase diagram was constructed. Our results show that TcT_\text c is monotonically suppressed upon increasing pressure. TMT_\text M is linearly increased up to 1.24 GPa. For the studied pressure range, no signs of the crossing of TMT_\text M and TcT_\text c lines are observed. The normalized slope of the superconducting upper critical field is gradually suppressed with increasing pressure, which may be due to the continuous change of Fermi-velocity vFv_F with pressure.
