Abstract
High-pressure AC-susceptibility measurement has been carried out in UIr. Three series of peaks corresponding to the successive ferromagnetic transitions indicate the existence of three ferromagnetic phases FM1-3. The phase boundary between FM2 and FM3 was not realized in the resistivity measurement. The Meissner effect is observed successfully in the pressure range of 2.63-2.74 GPa where the peak of AC-susceptibility survives. This result indicates that the superconducting phase is embedded in the FM3 phase with the ordered moment less than 0.05μB/U and adjoins the quantum critical point.
