The diboride materials MB2 (M = Mg, Be, Pb, etc.) are discussed on the basis of the 3D Josephson junction array (JJA) model due to Kawabata-Shenoy-Bishop, in terms of the B-B layers in the diborides analogous to the Cu-O ones in the…
We study the recently discovered 117-Kelvin superconducting system C60/CHBr3 of the field-effect transistor and propose a possibility that the intercalation molecule CHBr3 plays a role of an electric capacitor in the C60 fullerene…
Considerable excitement has been caused recently by the discovery that the binary boride system with stoichiometry MgB2 is superconducting at the remarkably high temperature of 39 K (1). This potentially opens the way to even higher Tc…
The review considers bulk MgB2-based materials in terms of their structure, superconducting and mechanical properties. Superconducting transition temperatures of 34.5-39.4 K, critical current densities of 1.8-1.0 x E6 A/sq.cm in self field…
The discovery of superconductivity at 39 K in magnesium diboride offers the possibility of a new class of low-cost, high-performance superconducting materials for magnets and electronic applications. With twice the critical temperature of…
This review paper illustrates the main normal and superconducting state properties of magnesium diboride, a material known since early 1950's, but recently discovered to be superconductive at a remarkably high critical temperature Tc=40K…
The search for superconductivity in materials iso-structural and iso-valent with magnesium diboride, MgB2, has not yielded any results close enough to the 39K Tc of MgB2. Lithium magnesium nitride, LiMgN, resembles MgB2 in that they both…
A relatively high critical temperature, Tc, approaching 40 K, places the recently-discovered superconductor magnesium diboride (MgB2) intermediate between the families of low- and copper-oxide-based high-temperature superconductors (HTS).…
Since the discovery of superconductivity in MgB2 (Tc ~ 39 K), the search for superconductivity in related materials with similar structures or ingredients has never stopped. Although about 100 binary borides have been explored, only few of…
Intensive and extensive searches for superconductivity in materials iso-structural, iso-electronic and iso-valent with magnesium diboride, MgB2, have not produced superconductors with Tc close to 39K. Recently, we proposed lithium magnesium…
We report the preparation method of, and boron isotope effect for MgB$_2$, a new binary intermetallic superconductor with a remarkably high superconducting transition temperature $T_c$($^{10}$B) = 40.2 K. Measurements of both temperature…
The discovery of the first high critical temperature (Tc) transition metal diboride superconductor, MgB2 structure alpha-MoB2 under pressure with Tc up to 32 K at 100 GPa, provides new input into some unexplained aspects of electron-phonon…
The discovery of superconductivity in Magnesium Diborate (MgB$_2$) has stimulated great interest in the search of new superconductors with similar lattice structures. Unlike cuprate or iron-based superconductors, MgB$_2$ is indisputably a…
Magnesium diboride has been thermally treated in the presence of Rb, Cs, and Ba. Magnetic susceptibility shows onsets of superconductivity in the resulting samples at 52K (Rb), 58K (Cs) and 45K (Ba). Room-temperature 11B NMR indicates to…
The discovery of superconductivity at 39 K in MgB2[1] raises many issues. One of the central questions is whether this new superconductor resembles a high-temperature-cuprate superconductor or a low-temperature metallic superconductor in…
We report variation of lattice structure in diborides (AB2) with different A atoms to identify the special case of MgB2 showing high Tc superconductivity. High purity MgB2 (Tc~39 K) has been prepared by direct reaction of the elements and…
Enhancing the critical temperature (TC) is important not only to the practical applications but also to the theories of superconductivity. MgB2 is a type II superconductor with a TC of 39 K, which is very close to the McMillan limit.…
For unconventional heavy Fermion superconductors, typified by UBe_13, the superconducting transition temperatures Tc are shown to correlate with a characteristic energy hbar^2 /(m* xi^2), m* being the effective mass and xi the coherence…
We have determined the structural properties of the superconducting compound MgB2 as a function of temperature from 11 K to 297 K and as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 0.62 GPa using neutron powder diffraction. This compound, when…
Inspired by the first boron-carbon (B-C) clathrate SrB$_3$C$_3$ and the ternary borohydride KB$_2$H$_8$ [Miao et al., Phys. Rev. B 104 L100504 (2021)], we have performed first-principles density functional theory calculations of the…
