Abstract

The superconductor MgCNi₃ has been chemically doped by partial substitution of Ru for Ni in the solid solution MgCNi_3-xRu _x for 0<x<0.5. Magnetic and specific heat measurements show that the Sommerfeld parameter (γ_exp) and T_C decrease immediately on Ru substitution, but that a T_C above 2 K is maintained even for a relatively large decrease in γ_exp. Ferromagnetism is not observed to develop through Ru substitution, and the normal state magnetic susceptibility is suppressed.
