Boron Isotope Effect in Superconducting MgB
arXiv:cond-mat/0101463 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.1877
Abstract
We report the preparation method of, and boron isotope effect for MgB, a new binary intermetallic superconductor with a remarkably high superconducting transition temperature (B) = 40.2 K. Measurements of both temperature dependent magnetization and specific heat reveal a 1.0 K shift in between MgB and MgB. Whereas such a high transition temperature might imply exotic coupling mechanisms, the boron isotope effect in MgB is consistent with the material being a phonon-mediated BCS superconductor.
