Abstract

We report superconductivity at 1.4K in the ternary SrPt $_{10}$ P $_4$ with a complex new structure. SrPt $_{10}$ P $_4$ crystallizes in a monoclinic space-group C2/c (\#15) with lattice parameters a= 22.9151(9) $\AA$ , b= 13.1664(5) $\AA$ , c=13.4131(5) $\AA$ , and $\beta$ = 90.0270(5) ${^\circ}$ . Bulk superconductivity in the samples has been demonstrated through resistivity, ac susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements. High pressure measurements have shown that the superconducting T $_C$ is systematically suppressed upon application of pressure, with a dT $_C$ /dP coefficient of -0.016 K/GPa.
