抄録

Superconducting transition temperatures Tc have been measured for s-wave superconductors Cu(Co1−xMx)2S4 with varying x. The system is often considered to be a three dimensional version of the triangular lattice, because it has a three dimensional network of corner-sharing (Co1−xMx)4 tetrahedra. As the M atom, Cr, Ir and Rh, which can substitute for Co, are used. Although Tc decreases linearly in x, the suppression rates |dTcdx| are much smaller than the values expected from the pair breaking due to magnetic impurities in s-wave superconductors. They are, of course, much smaller than those expected for the pair breaking due to non-magnetic impurities in superconducting systems with anisotropic order parameter. The behavior is very similar to that observed in the newly found superconductor NazCoO2·yH2O, which has two-dimensional layers of CoO2 triangular lattice. It suggests that a same mechanism of the Tc suppression is working in the two systems and presents useful information on the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter of NazCoO2·yH2O. Brief arguments of a possible mechanism of the Tc suppression of the present system are given.
