The variation of TC in MgB2 has been systematically investigated for monovalent cation substitution in Mg1-xLixB2 and in Mg1-xCuxB2 and simultaneous cation and Carbon substitution in Mg0.80Li0.20B2-xCx and Mg0.95Cu0.05B2-xCx using dc…

Successful replacement of B by C in the series MgB2-xCx for values of x upto 0.3 are reported. Resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements have been carried out in the samples. Solubility of carbon, inferred from the observed change in…

We report on measurements of the temperature dependence of resistivity, $\rho(T)$, for single crystal samples of ZrB$_{12}$, ZrB$_{2}$ and polycrystalline samples of MgB$_{2}$. It is shown that cluster compound ZrB$_{12}$ behaves like a…

We report on the synthesis and measurements of the temperature dependence of resistivity, R(T), the penetration depth, l(T), and upper critical magnetic field, Hc2(T), for polycrystalline samples of dodecaboride ZrB12 and diboride MgB2. We…

We report on syntheses and electron transport properties of polycrystalline samples of diborides (AB2) with different transition metals atoms (A=Zr,Nb,Ta). The temperature dependence of resistivity, \rho(T), and ac susceptibility of these…

For a given crystal structure, say body-centred-cubic, the many-body Hamiltonian in which nuclear and electron motions are to be treated from the outset on the same footing, has parameters, for the elements, which can be classified as (i)…

Thermal conductivity of superconducting MgB2 was studied in both the superconducting and the normal state region. The latter is almost equally determined by the electronic - and the lattice contribution to the total thermal conductivity. In…

Very recently carbon-rich NaC6 with sodalite-like structure has been predicted to show superconducting transition temperature above 100 K at relatively low applied (compared to high-Tc hydrides) hydrostatic pressures. We have investigated…

Polycrystalline samples of LaNi2(Ge{1-x}P{x})2 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1) were synthesized and their properties investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD), heat capacity Cp, magnetic susceptibility chi, and electrical resistivity rho…

We prepared MgB$_{2-x}$Be$_{x}$ ($x=0$, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.6) samples where B is substituted with Be. MgB$_{2}$ structure is maintained up to $x=0.6$. In-plane and inter-plane lattice constants were found to decrease and increase,…

Superconducting transition temperatures ($T_c$'s) of MgB$_2$, Mg$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$B$_2$, Mg$_{1-x}$Na$_x$B$_2$, and Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_x$B$_2$ are studied within the McMillan approximation using electronic and structural information obtained from…

The electrical resistivity $\rho$ and upper critical field $H_{c2}$ were measured in MgB$_2$ disordered by nuclear reactor neutrons. We found that superconducting temperature $T_c$ decreases under irradiation from 40 to 5 K. Despite strong…

We have performed bulk measurements such as dc magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity and heat capacity on the pseudo-ternary alloys Lu$_5$Ir$_4$(Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$)$_{10}$ to study the interplay and competition between…

The effect of Li substitution for Mg and of Li-C co-substitution on the superconducting properties and crystal structure of MgB2 single crystals has been investigated. It has been found that hole doping with Li decreases the superconducting…

We utilize the van de Pauw technique combined with Density Functional Theory to show that an external voltage applied to superconducting AlB2-type compounds, such as MgB2 and Mg(B1.9C0.1), effects substantive changes in transition…

The low-temperature specific heat C(T,H) of a new superconductor MgCNi3 has been measured in detail. (C/gammasub_nTc=1.97 is estimated from the anomaly at Tc. At low temperatures, the electronic contribution in the superconducting state…

Recently, interference-induced surface superconductivity (SC) has been predicted within an attractive Hubbard model with $s$-wave pairing, prompting intensive studies of its properties. The most notable finding is that the surface critical…

The effect of hydrostatic pressure and partial Na substitution on the normal-state properties and the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of K$_{1-x}$Na$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ single crystals were investigated. It was found that a…

In several superconductors above the superconducting transition temperature Tc, the electrical resistivity is of the form {\rho} =AT^2. We show that there exists an empirical relation between Tc and A when both vary with an external…

The specific heat C of a sintered polycrystalline sample of MgB2 with a bulk superconducting transition temperature Tc=36.7 K is measured as a function of the temperature (2-300 K) and magnetic field (0-16 T), together with magnetic…
