The iron-based intermetallic YFe 2 Ge 2 stands out among transition metal compounds for
its high Sommerfeld coefficient of the order of 100 mJ/(mol K 2), which signals strong
electronic correlations. A new generation of high quality samples of YFe 2 Ge 2 show
superconducting transition anomalies below 1.8 K in thermodynamic, magnetic, and
transport measurements, establishing that superconductivity is intrinsic in this layered iron
compound outside the known superconducting iron pnictide or chalcogenide families. The …
The iron-based intermetallic stands out among transition metal compounds for its high Sommerfeld coefficient of the order of , which signals strong electronic correlations. A new generation of high quality samples of show superconducting transition anomalies below 1.8 K in thermodynamic, magnetic, and transport measurements, establishing that superconductivity is intrinsic in this layered iron compound outside the known superconducting iron pnictide or chalcogenide families. The Fermi surface geometry of resembles that of in the high pressure collapsed tetragonal phase, in which superconductivity at temperatures as high as 10 K has recently been reported, suggesting an underlying connection between the two systems.
