Abstract

Zr6CoAl2-type Zr6RuTe2 is found to show bulk superconductivity below the superconducting transition temperature Tc = 1.1 K, according to the electrical resistivity, magnetization, and heat capacity measurements using synthesized polycrystalline samples. This Tc exceeds that of Zr6MTe2 compounds in which M is other transition metals, indicating that M = Ru is favorable for superconductivity in Zr6CoAl2-type Zr6MX2.
