Electronic structure of the A3B compounds: A=Nb; B=Al,Ga,Ge,Sn and In

“…A energy criterion of 0.1 mRy was taken to achieve convergence. A minimization of the binding energy was carried out with variations in the cubic unit cell volume, where the Murnaghan [11] TABLE I: Experimental [1][2][3] and calculated lattice constants, bulk moduli, calculated DOS at the Fermi level (N(E F )) and Fermi energy(E F ), experimental T c [19,20] and λ [14,21], calculated and experimental γ. Table I is also listed the bulk moduli for all studied compounds.…”

On the stabilization of A-15 Nb3Ge with high TC's

“…For ten years, the discovery of high critical temperature (Tc > 20 K) in the A-15 structure compound Nb3Ge, prepared by low temperature synthesis methods such as sputtering [ 1 -3], chemical vapour deposition, (CVD) [4][5][6][7][8][9], or coevaporation [10,II], has stimulated much discussion on questions dealing with the phase stability of this A-15 high Tc material.…”
