The high-entropy concept was applied to the synthesis of transition-metal antimonides, M1–
x Pt x Sb (M= equimolar Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ir). High-entropy antimonide samples crystallized in …

Abstract Polycrystalline LiGa2Ir has been prepared by a solid state reaction method. A
Rietveld refinement of powder x-ray diffraction data confirms a previously reported Heusler …

A DFT-based theoretical technique is used to investigate the physical characteristics of type-
II MgPd 2 Sb superconductor, which reveals superconductivity below 2.83 K. By using the …

Heusler compounds attract a great deal of attention from researchers thanks to a wealth of
interesting properties, among which is superconductivity. Here we perform an extensive …

The ScAu 2 Al superconducting Heusler-type compound was recently characterized to have
the highest critical temperature of T c= 5.12 K and the strongest electron-phonon coupling …

We report a successful synthesis of a high-purity intermetallic germanide Y 2 Pd 1.25 Ge
2.75, crystallizing in the disordered variant of the AlB 2-type structure. A single-phase …

We report superconductivity in the full Heusler compound LiPd2Si (space group Fm3̅m,
No. 225) at a critical temperature of T c= 1.3 K and a normalized heat capacity jump at T c, Δ …

Amorphous TiNiSn films were prepared at T≈ 4. 2 K and resistance R (T) and thermopower
S (T) have been investigated. R (T) shows that the sample is superconducting and the …

Double Dirac materials are a topological phase of matter in which a non-symmorphic
symmetry enforces greater electronic degeneracy than normally expected–up to eightfold …

The half-Heusler family consists of many semiconducting intermetallic compounds, virtually
all of them having a valence electron count (VEC) of 18. We have studied an electron …
