United in uranium compounds


The phase diagram of UGe2 reveals that superconductivity (yellow) and ferromagnetism (green) can co-exist over a limited pressure range. No superconductivity is observed below 10 kbar, which suggests that the proximity to the critical pressure - the pressure at which the magnetic ordering and Curie temperature vanish - is crucial for Cooper pairing.
