Abstract

We performed the heat capacity, C(T), measurement under high pressure on a ferromagnetic superconductor UGe2, in order to study the pressure dependence of the anomaly in C(T) associated with the superconducting transition. A clear peak appears only around a critical pressure P*c where an another transition temperature T* becomes 0 K. This result suggests that a bulk superconducting phase exists in the narrower pressure region around P*c than those clarified by previous studies.
