The present review article discusses the physics of the non-oxide perovskite superconductor
MgCNi 3 on the basis of theoretical and experimental results available on the material up to …

Superconductors is neither about basic aspects of superconductivity nor about its
applications, but its mainstay is superconducting materials. Unusual and unconventional …

Discovery of superconductivity in Y–Ni–B–C (T c∼ 13 K) gave rise to the class of quaternary
rare earth transition metal borocarbide superconductors. Before the discovery of Fe-based …

The boron partial isotope effect (10B-11B) was investigated in YNi2B2C and in YPd5B3C0.
3. Samples with pure 10B and 11B, as well as natural boron, and a 1: 1 mixture of 10B and …

The dependence of the superconducting and magnetic properties of the re-entrant
superconductor HoNi2B2C on phase composition was investigated with X-ray powder …

In order to understand the role of Ni site substitution on the electronic structure and chemical
bonding in YNi 2 B 2 C, we have made systematic electronic-structure studies on YNi 2 B 2 …

The effect of Co substitution on superconductivity and magnetism in the system R (Ni 1− x
Co x) 2 B 2 C (R= Lu, Tm, Er, Ho, Dy) is investigated by ac-susceptibility measurements in …

A low-temperature phase diagram H (T) of the 7.8-K superconductor HoNi 2 B 2 C (with an
onset of 8.3 K) is generated through characterization of well-prepared samples by various …

Abstract Nearly-single-phase La 3 Ni 2 B 2 N 3− δ prepared by arc melting and subsequent
annealing at 1100 C is characterized by x-ray powder techniques, electron microprobe …

Measurements of the superconducting transition temperature Tc under hydrostatically
