With the aim of gauging their potential as conducting or superconducting materials, we
examine the crystal structures and magnetic properties of the roughly one hundred binary …

We present new upper critical field H c 2 (T) data in a broad temperature region 0.3 K≤ T≤
T c for LuNi 2 B 2 C and YNi 2 B 2 C single crystals with well characterized low impurity …

The interaction of rare-earth magnetism and superconductivity has been a topic of interest
for many years. In classical magnetic superconductors (Chevrel phases, ternary rhodium …

By combining the methods of isotopic substitution in neutron diffraction and high-energy x-
ray diffraction, we have determined partial structure factors of vitreous SiO 2. A discussion of …

Thermoelectric properties were determined in self-substituted Fe 2 VAl Heusler alloys (Fe 2
V 1+ x Al 1− x,− 0.1< x< 0.1), pursuing the goal of their optimization. A parabolic band model …

We analyzed the superconducting and normal-state heat capacity of superconducting YNi 2
B 2 C, LuNi 2 B 2 C, LaPt 1.5 Au 0.5 B 2 C and the nonsuperconducting reference …

Since 1986, most of the interest in superconductivity became focused on high-T c cuprates.
The discovery of the superconducting quaternary borocarbide system Y–Ni–B–C with T c as …

Publisher Summary Metallic systems containing rare earth or actinide elements exhibit a
particularly rich variety of magnetic properties and phenomena that are caused by the …

We have investigated electronic structures of a newly discovered antiperovskite
superconductor MgCNi 3 and related compounds MgBNi 3 and MgNNi 3. In MgCNi 3, a …

In this paper we explore the role of muon spin rotation (μSR) techniques in the
characterization and classification of superconducting materials. In particular we focus upon …
