Following our recent discovery of robust coexistence of SC and FM in RbEuFe4As4 (Liu et al. in Phys Rev B 93:214503, 2016), here we report another example of such a coexistence in its sister com- pound CsEuFe4As4, synthesized for the first time. The new material exhibits bulk SC at 35.2 K and Eu2+-spin ferro- magnetic ordering at 15.5 K, demonstrating that it is a new robust ferromagnetic superconductor.展开更多
