We report bulk superconductivity in ZrVGe withTc=6K determined by magnetization, electronic transport and specific heat measurements. From the analysis of magnetization and resistivity data we obtain the thermodynamic critical fieldsμ0Hc1andμ0Hc2, respectively. The heat capacity data deviate from conventional BCS theory suggesting possible unconventional superconducting behavior.

We report superconductivity at TC ∼3.8 K in the new ternary phase Ta5GeB2. Bulk superconductivity is confirmed by magnetization, electrical resistivity and heat capacity measurements, the results showing conventional bulk superconductivity. Ta5GeB2 is a further example of a stoichiometric T2 phase with Cr5B3 prototype structure.

In this work, we report superconductivity in the new ternary Ta1-xHfxB system. We also show clearly evidence that appropriate amounts of Hf substitution at the Ta site induce the stabilization of the orthorhombic FeB prototype structure in this system. Bulk superconductivity is confirmed by magnetization, electronic transport and specific heat measurements. The Hall signal has temperature dependence and the specific heat data at low temperature deviate from the conventional exponential temperature dependence in Ta0.7Hf0.3B. These results suggest multiband superconductivity in this compound.
