Abstract

All qualitative features of the superconducting mixed state behaviour of a 5% Nd-doped CeRu₂ sample studied earlier, [Physica C 279 (1997) 70] are reproduced in undoped samples of CeRu₂. This establishes the fact that the observed behaviour is a characteristic of the CeRu₂ family. We also present new results of polycrystalline CeRu₂ that are consistent with the existence of a first-order phase transition described by the Clausius-Clapeyron relation.
