Abstract

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 (T_c = 16.6K), consists of alternating, square LuC Ni₂B₂ layers. The highest T_c in the family is found for YPdBC at 23K, equivalent to the highest T_c ever observed for an intermetallic material.
