Abstract:Even though MgCNi 3 contains large molar volume of magnetic Ni atoms it clearly shows superconductivity. The origin of superconductivity in this material has not yet been clarified. There is a lot of discrepancy in experimental results and physical interpretation where even unconventional pairing or a two-band model have been proposed for the system. All that is based on results obtained on polycrystalline samples. Here we present the first point-contact spectroscopy and ac-calorimetry measurements on the MgCN… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
