Lithium Beryllium Phosphide (LiBeP): A possible MgB2-like Superconductor
arXiv:1206.1915
Abstract
The search for materials similar to magnesium diboride, MgB2, based on structure and electronic similarity did not produce close enough superconductors in terms of Tc. Changing the search to iso-electronic and iso-atomic number equivalents opened new doors to very many possible MgB2-like superconductors. Here we present LiBeP which meets these new conditions. We estimate its Tc to be 34.5K if two-gapped or 17.2K if single gapped.
