Synthesis of Low-Temperature Stable Superconducting A15 Compounds in the Niobium System

  • Chapter
Low Temperature Physics-LT 13

Abstract

The fact that niobium has the highest superconducting temperature among all the elements in their normal state, and its presence among those compounds with highest T c ,inspired us to investigate the β-W phases in the different systems of the element. In our search for high superconducting binary alloys we have investigated the Nb-Ge, Nb-Ga, and Nb-Si systems.

Supported in part by the National Science Foundation and the Advanced Research Projects Agency through the Center for Materials Research at Stanford University.
