Meissner effect in (a) La Pt Ge and (b) Pr Pt Ge , for which in terms of was measured in an applied field of H = 1 mT parallel to the c-axis. FC and ZFC stand for field-cooled and zero-field-cooled measurements, respectively. The superconductivity volume fractions in both compounds are less than 2% at 2 K.
