High superconducting transition temperatures of new rare earth ternary borides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new group of ternary borides has been found that show either ferromagnetism or superconductivity. Their general formula is MRh(4)B(4) where M is a transition or rare-earth element. Their superconducting transition temperatures range from approximately 2.5 K for the Sm compound to approximately 12 K for the Lu compound.

Corrigendum: Synthesis and Characterization of an Alumina Forming Nanolaminated Boride: MoAlB
The 'MAlB' phases are nanolaminated, ternary transition metal borides that consist of a transition metal boride sublattice interleaved by monolayers or bilayers of pure aluminum. However, their synthesis and properties remain largely unexplored. Herein, we synthesized dense, predominantly single-phase samples of one such compound, MoAlB, using a reactive hot pressing method. High-resolution sca...
متن کاملExperimental formation enthalpies for intermetallic phases and other inorganic compounds
The standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the energy associated with the reaction to form the compound from its component elements. The standard enthalpy of formation is a fundamental thermodynamic property that determines its phase stability, which can be coupled with other thermodynamic data to calculate phase diagrams. Calorimetry provides the only direct method by which the standa...
متن کاملNew Superhard Ternary Borides in Composite Materials
Superhard substances are those a hardness above 20 GPa, i.e. higher than that of corundum (Kislii et al.,1988) or with a Vickers hardness Hv exceeding 40 GPa (Sologenko&Gregorianz, 2005). The ten utmost non-metal substances and refractory compounds form a "hardness pyramid" (Kislii et al.,1988) diamond being on top, followed by cubic-boron nitride and boron carbide. Metal-like ones form a simil...
متن کاملTopological RPdBi half-Heusler semimetals: A new family of noncentrosymmetric magnetic superconductors
We report superconductivity and magnetism in a new family of topological semimetals, the ternary half-Heusler compound RPdBi (R: rare earth). In this series, tuning of the rare earth f-electron component allows for simultaneous control of both lattice density via lanthanide contraction and the strength of magnetic interaction via de Gennes scaling, allowing for a unique tuning of the normal-sta...

We report systematic investigations of the magnetic superconducting properties of the new superconducting materials (NS): New high temperature superconductors (HTS), Organic superconductors (OS), fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, MgB2 etc. We show that, contrary to conventional superconductors where the superconducting state can be coherent over several tenths of km, the macroscopic coherence ran...
