Popis: The unconventional nonmagnetic metal CeNi 2 Ge 2 is characterised at ambient pressure by temperature dependences of the specific heat and of the resistivity which deviate strongly from standard Fermi-liquid predictions and are reminiscent of the behaviour observed in its sibling system CePd 2 Si 2 above the critical pressure at which magnetic order is suppressed. We have explored the CePd 2 Si 2 /CeNi 2 Ge 2 phase diagram in a series of resistivity measurements under high hydrostatic pressure, p . At p > 15 kbar, a new superconducting transition appears below 220 mK in CeNi 2 Ge 2 and shifts to higher temperatures with increasing pressure, reaching ≈400 mK at p ≈ 26 kbar.
