We investigate the effect of enhancement of superconducting transition temperatureby nonmagnetic atom disorder in the filled skutterudite-related tetragonalcompound doped with Ca. We documented experimentally thatand its Ca-doped alloys are electronically inhomogeneous at the nanoscale, when Ca content is smaller thanin thesystem, while formuch stronger chemical phase inhomogeneity is observed with an about 20% volume fraction of the second 3:4:13 cubic phase, which we interpret as a fluctuation of stoichiometry within the bulk sample. Then the enhancement ofvscould be modeled by a mechanism proposed in recent theoretical reports for increasing the mean-field transition temperaturein the presence of nonmagnetic disorder. The increase in disorder with doping increases the sample inhomogeneity and causes a systematic increase in, while for two-phasesamples the critical temperaturerapidly increases. Based on band structure calculations performed under pressure, we demonstrate how the change in density of states would affectof. We obtained the Grüneisen parameterlarger for the inhomogeneous phase with respect toof the bulkphase and attribute the enhancement ofto larger stiffening of thehigh-temperaturephase.
