Abstract
The effect of chemical pressure on the superconductivity of the (Y1-xLax)Ni 2B2C system was studied. The results give an indication that the experiment ally observed hydrostatic pressure for YNi2B2C is possibly a consequence of the balance between positive in-plane and negative out-of-plane uniaxial p ressure derivatives. It is suggested that c-uniaxial pressure is detrimenta l for superconductivity in this system.
