Searching for Superconductivity in Z=10 Family of Materials
arXiv:1206.3006
Abstract
Binary and ternary materials with average atomic number (Z) of 10 have average valence electrons of 2.67. The material specific characterization dataset (MSCD) scheme, superconductivity symmetry search rules and the Tc estimation formula, earlier developed are used in this search for binary and ternary superconductors with low Z like MgB2. Here we identify 17 potential superconducting Z=10 materials and estimate their Tcs prior to experimental investigations.
