Single crystals of superconducting OsB_2 [T_c = 2.10(5) K] have been grown using a Cu-B eutectic flux. We confirm that OsB_2 crystallizes in the reported orthorhombic structure (space group Pmmn) at room temperature. Both the normal and…
CaSb2 is a topological nodal-line semimetal that becomes superconducting below 1.6 K, providing an ideal platform to investigate the interplay between topologically nontrivial electronic bands and superconductivity. In this work, we…
We characterize the superconducting state of phase pure polycrystalline samples of the new layered superconductor MgB$_2$ by specific heat measurements in magnetic fields up to 9 T. The characteristic jump at the superconducting transition…
Recent studies of hydrogen-dominant (superhydride) materials, such as LaH10 have led to putative discoveries of near-room temperature superconductivity at high pressures, with a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 250 K observed…
The crystal structure, superconducting properties, and electronic structure of a novel superconducting 122-type antimonide, BaPt$_2$Sb$_2$, have been investigated by measurements of powder X-ray diffraction patterns, electrical resistivity,…
We report the synthesis, magnetic susceptibility and crystal structure analysis for NbB2+x (x = 0.0 to 1.0) samples. The study facilitates in finding a correlation among the lattice parameters, chemical composition and the superconducting…
The small atomic mass of boron indicates strong electron-phonon coupling, so it may have a brilliant performance in superconductivity. Recently, a new 2D boride sheet with ordered metal vacancies and surface terminals (Mo4/3B2-x) was…
The properties of the noncentrosymmetric superconductor ($\alpha$-$\textit{Mn}$ structure) Nb$_{0.5}$Os$_{0.5}$ is investigated using resistivity, magnetization, specific heat, and muon spin relaxation and rotation ($\mu$SR) measurements.…
We show that the superhard boride WB$_{4.2}$ is a superconductor with a T$_c$ of 2.05(5) K. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and specific heat measurements were used to characterize the superconducting…
Boron in MgB_2 forms layers of honeycomb lattices with magnesium as a space filler. Band structure calculations indicate that Mg is substantially ionized, and the bands at the Fermi level derive mainly from B orbitals. Strong bonding with…
In the search for MgB2-like phonon-mediated superconductors we have carried out a systematic density functional theory study of the Ca-B system, isoelectronic to Mg-B, at ambient and gigapascal pressures. A remarkable variety of candidate…
The recent discovery of superconductivity up to 32 K in the pressurized MoB2 reignites the interests in exploring high-Tc superconductors in transition-metal diborides. Inspired by that work, we turn our attention to the 5d transition-metal…
A first-principles investigation of the electron-phonon interaction in the recently synthesized osmium dinitride (OsN$_2$) compound predicts that the material is a superconductor. Superconductivity in OsN$_2$ would originate from the…
We have measured the resistivity, optical conductivity, and magnetic susceptibility of LaSb$_2$ to search for clues as to the cause of the extraordinarily large linear magnetoresistance and to explore the properties of the superconducting…
$MgB_2$ becomes superconducting just below 40 K. Whereas porous polycrystalline samples of $MgB_2$ can be synthesized from boron powders, in this letter we demonstrate that dense wires of $MgB_2$ can be prepared by exposing boron filaments…
High-pressure electrical resistivity measurements reveal that the mechanical deformation of ultra-hard WB2 during compression induces superconductivity above 50 GPa with a maximum superconducting critical temperature, Tc of 17 K at 90 GPa.…
We report a comprehensive investigation of the physical properties of LuOs3B2, characterized by an ideal Os-based kagome lattice. Resistivity and magnetization measurements confirm the emergence of type-II bulk superconductivity with a…
We investigated a high-quality MgB$_{2}$ thin film with a thickness of $\sim$1000 nm on an Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ substrate using optical spectroscopy. We measured the reflectance spectra of the film at various temperatures both below, and above,…
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…
Here we report further investigation on the thermodynamic, and transport properties, and the first assessment of theoretical calculations for the BiS2-layered Bi3O2S3 superconductor. The polycrystalline sample is synthesized with the…
