Description

A magnetization study on the superconducting filled skutterudite La0.8Rh4P12 has revealed the lower critical field HC1(0) of 71(2) Oe and the upper critical field HC2(0) of 126(7) kOe. Using these values, the coherent length ξ(0), penetration depth λ(0) and Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ(0) were determined to be 5.1(1) nm, 3.1(2) x 102 nm and 60(3), respectively. The estimated critical current was 18.4 kA cm-2 at 4.2 K and 0 kOe using the Bean model
