Ta5GeB2: New T2 superconductor phase

Abstract

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.
