Pressure-Induced Superconducting Phase in the Charge-Density-Wave Compound Terbium Tritelluride

A series of high-pressure electrical resistivity measurements on single crystals of TbTe(3) reveal a complex phase diagram involving the interplay of superconducting, antiferromagnetic and charge-density-wave order. The onset of superconductivity reaches a maximum of almost 4 K (onset) near similar to 12.4 GPa.
