The effects of phosphorus doping on the structural and superconducting phase transitions of BaNi2(As1-xPx)(2) were studied. The specific heat, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility were measured. The results revealed an abrupt increase in the superconducting transition temperature (T-c) from 0.6 K in the triclinic phase (space group P (1) over bar) with less phosphorus (x = 0.067). Our data analysis suggests that a doping-induced softening related to an in-plane Ni and As(P) phonon mode is responsible for the enhanced superconductivity in the tetragonal phase.
