Abstract
Under atmospheric pressure, GeRh2Si2 orders antiferromagnetically at T -N = 35 K, with magnetic entropy S = R In 2 associated with the ordere d groundstate. Application of modest pressure (approximate to 9 kbar) to GeRh2Si2 suppresses T-N to near zero Kelvin, increases its Sommerfe ld coefficient of specific heat by nearly a factor of 3.5 and induces some form of superconductivity below 400 mK which is depressed by a ma gnetic field at a rate of -80 mK/kG.
