Enhancement of superconductivity on the verge of a structural instability in isovalently doped β-ThRh1−x Ir x Ge

Abstract β-ThRhGe, the high-temperature polymorph of ThRhGe, is isostructural to the well-known ferromagnetic superconductor URhGe. However, contrary to URhGe, β-ThRhGe is nonmagnetic and undergoes an incomplete structural phase transition at 244 K, followed by a superconducting transition below 3.3...
