β¦ Synopsis
The effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 15 kbar on the superconducting transition temperature T, is reported for five compounds in the quatemary system RENi,B& (RE=Y, Lu, Tm, Er, Ho). The compounds with RE=Y, Lu, Tm, Er display a modest linear variation of T, with pressure. The value of dT,/dp is ranging from -1.78 X lo-' K/bar up to + 1.88X 10e5 K/ bar. In contrast, for HoNi2B2C some kind of interplay between long-range magnetic order and superconductivity occurs, which is strongly modified under applied pressure.

We have investigated the Raman scattering in RE,BaCuO,, where RE=Y, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, in the 50-1500 cm-' region. We have also recorded the electronic spectra of some of these RE,BaCuOS. From these studies, we concluded that the broad Raman band located at about 1100-I 177 cm-'
