Abstract

Magnetic properties of TaB $_{2}$ were studied by means of DC and AC susceptibility measurements. It has been found that the compound becomes superconducting at T $_{c}$ = 9.5 K. From upper critical field measurements the superconducting parameters have been evaluated, which indicated that TaB $_{2}$ is a hard type-II superconductor. Possible reasons why superconductivity has not been discovered in previous studies are briefly discussed.
