N2 - We have recently found, and begun the physical characterization of, a new type of intermetallic superconductor based on rare earths, the transition metals Ni, Pd and Pt, and boron and carbon. The prototype crystal structure, found for LuNi2B2C (Tc = 16.6K), consists of alternating, square LuC Ni2B2 layers. The highest Tc in the family is found for YPdBC at 23K, equivalent to the highest Tc ever observed for an intermetallic material.
