Two-band superconductivity has become an important topic over the past ten years.
Extensive experimental and theoretical studies started with MgB 2 and are now focused on …

Rare earth (RE) borides have yielded systems exhibiting interesting and varied magnetic
behaviors. The electron deficient boron atomic frameworks are a good combination with rare …

The superconductor YB 6 has the second highest critical temperature T c among the boride
family MB n. We report measurements of the specific heat, resistivity, magnetic susceptibility …

Boron is inclined to form strong covalent bonds, but since it has only three valence electrons,
it is electron deficient to form a three dimensional network with conventional electron pair …

Element B in binary metal borides forms various polymetric configurations due to its electron-
deficient nature. Here we predict a new pressure-stabilized boron clathrate structure, LaB8 …

Yttrium borides have attracted much attention for their superconducting and high chemical
stability. However, the fundamental knowledge of the mechanical properties and hardness …

We present a microscopic study of the behavior of the order parameters near the boundaries
of a two-band superconducting material, described by the standard tight-binding Bardeen …

In an attempt to clarify conflicting published data, we report new measurements of specific
heat, resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and thermal expansivity up to room temperature for …

Using the standard Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, we revise microscopic
derivation of the superconductor-insulator boundary conditions for the Ginzburg-Landau …

We measured the specific heat, the magnetization, and the magnetoresistance of a single
crystal of Zr B 12, which is superconducting below T c≅ 6 K. The specific heat in zero field …
