Abstract
Ce-based intermetallic compounds frequently exhibit complex magnetic and transport properties connected to a single electron localized at 4f-level and an interplay among indirect exchange interactions, Kondo screening, spin-orbit coupling, and crystal electrical field (CEF). CeRhSi3, the subject of present study (with a tetragonal structure of the BaNiSn3-type I 4mm, no. 107 without an inversion symmetry) orders antiferromagnetically below 1.6 K.
Moreover, upon the application of pressure of about 1 GPa, superconductivity (SC) can be induced at low temperatures [1]. Previous high-pressure experiments on CeRhSi3 were performed utilizing the hybrid-cylinder piston pressure cell with a maximal reachable pressure of 3 GPa.
The measurement at pressures higher than 3 GPa was missing, and is the subject of our present study
