LaIr3Ga2: A Superconductor based on a Kagome Lattice of Ir
Xin Gui, Robert J. Cava
New materials based on Kagome lattices, predicted to host exotic quantum physics because they can display flat electronic bands, Dirac cones and topologically nontrivial surface st…
Stability and superconductivity of 4d and 5d transition metal high-entropy alloys
Alexander J. Browne, Denver P. Strong, Robert. J. Cava
We report the synthesis of new equimolar high-entropy alloys (HEAs) formed from five or six 4d/5d transition metals that are each from a different Group of the Periodic Table. Thes…
Crystal Structure, Magnetic Properties and Bonding Analysis of M3Pt23Ge11 (M=Ca, Sr, Ba and Eu)
Xin Gui, Robert J. Cava
The properties of Pt-based materials can be intriguing due to the importance of spin-orbit coupling for Pt. Herein, we report four new phases with formulas M3Pt23Ge11 (M = Ca, Sr,…
Magnetic transitions in the 1-D chain compounds NdPd5Ge3 and NdPt5Ge3
Xin Gui, Robert J. Cava
We present the structural and initial magnetic characterization of the previously unreported materials NdPd5Ge3 and NdPd5Ge3. These materials, with 1-dimensional Nd chains, crystal…
MgPdSb -- the first Mg-based Heusler-type superconductor
Michal J. Winiarski, Gabriel Kuderowicz, Karolina Górnicka +5
We report the synthesis and physical properties of a full Heusler compound, MgPdSb, which we found to show superconductivity below = 2.2 K. MgPdSb was obtained by a t…
Ferromagnetic Cr4PtGa17: A Novel Half-Heusler-Type Compound with a Breathing Pyrochlore Lattice
Xin Gui, Erxi Feng, Huibo Cao +1
We describe the crystal structure and elementary magnetic properties of a previously unreported ternary intermetallic compound, Cr4PtGa17, which crystallizes in a rhombohedral unit…
