Pressure-induced superconductivity in?CaFe2As2

2008 
We report pressure-induced superconductivity in a single crystal of CaFe2As2. At atmospheric pressure, this material is antiferromagnetic below 170 K but under an applied pressure of 0.69 GPa becomes superconducting, with a transition temperature Tc exceeding 10 K. The rate of Tc suppression with applied magnetic field is −0.7 K T−1, giving an extrapolated zero-temperature upper critical field of 10–14 T.
