Abstract
The suppression of superconductivity of pseudo-quaternary RxY1-xNi2B2C comp ounds in the dilute limit was Sound to be mainly caused by magnetic pair-br eaking in the case of the heavy rare-earth elements (R = Tm, Er, Ho, Dy, Tb , Gd) and by lattice distortions in the case of the light rare-earth elemen ts (R = Pr, Nd) resulting from the large difference of the ionic radii betw een the Y host ions and the R impurity ones.
