Abstract
The variations of the superconducting transition temperature T-c and the ma gnetic transition temperature TN as a function of the Nd concentration x in R1-xNdxNi2B2C (R=Y, Ho, and Er) systems is systematically studied by the m easurements of electrical resistivity and magnetization. It is found that t he Nd substitution in R1-xNdxNi2B2C show an effect to break: Cooper pairs. The de Gennes scaling on the variation of T-c as also discussed.
