Abstract :
This work reports the structure and superconducting properties of the superconductor ZrRuP doped with Fe; the ZrRu1−xFexP solid solution was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction, SQUID magnetometry and Mößbauer spectroscopy. It is shown that the modification of the superconducting properties by doping with Fe is similar to the effect of chemical pressure and that the Fe doped compounds do not show any magnetic ordering.
