ZrSbRu, a new superconductor in the WSi structure type
Weiwei Xie, Huixia Luo, Brendan F. Phelan +1
We report that at low Ru contents, up to x = 0.2, the ZrSbRu solid solution forms in the hexagonal MnSi structure type of the host (x = 0), but that at…
Superconductivity in HfSbRu: Are Ru and Sb a critical charge-transfer pair for superconductivity?
Weiwei Xie, Huixia Luo, Elizabeth M. Seibel +2
We address the hypothesis that in intermetallic compounds, contrary to a long-standing view that considers electron count and crystal structure type as the only significant chemica…
Superconductivity in 3R-Ta1-xMxSe2 (M = W, Mo)
Huixia Luo, Weiwei Xie, Elizabeth M. Seibel +1
The 3-layer (3R) polytype of TaSe2-xTex shows a superconducting transition temperature that is between 6 and 17 times higher than that of the two-layer (2H) polytype. The remarkabl…
Characterization of the Heavy Metal Pyrochlore Lattice Superconductor CaIr2
Neel Haldolaarachchige, Quinn Gibson, Leslie M. Schoop +2
We report the electronic properties of the cubic laves phase superconductor CaIr2 (Tc = 5.8 K), in which the Ir atoms have a Pyrochlore lattice. The estimated superconducting param…
Superconducting NbRuB derived through the fragment formalism
Weiwei Xie, Huixia Luo, K. Baroudi +3
We employ the chemical fragment formalism to perform a targeted superconductor search in the Nb-Ru-B system, yielding the orthorhombic metal-rich boride NbRuB, which displays BCS-l…
Polytypism, polymorphism and superconductivity in TaSe2-xTex
Huixia Luo, Weiwei Xie, Jing Tao +6
Polymorphism in materials often leads to significantly different physical properties - the rutile and anatase polymorphs of TiO2 are a prime example. Polytypism is a special type o…
A large new family of filled skutterudites stabilized by electron count
Huixia Luo, Jason W. Krizan, Lukas Muechler +6
Based on the interplay of theory and experiment, a large new family of filled group 9 (Co, Rh and Ir) skutterudites is designed and synthesized. The new materials fill the empty ca…
