Superconductivity without Fe or Ni in the phosphides BaIr2P2 and BaRh2P2

N. Berry, C. Capan, G. Seyfarth +3

Heat capacity, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm bulk superconductivity in single crystals of BaIr${}_2$P${}_2$ (T${}_c$=2.1K) and BaRh${}_2$P${}_2$ (T${}_c$ = 1.0…
