摘要

En 中文
WBe2, which occurs in space group 194, with hexagonal symmetry P63/mmc, is prepared by arc-melting at temperatures above 2200 C, where Be vapor loss is significant. This study is motivated by recent work on MoB2 and WB2, both superconductors (Tc=32 and 17 K respectively) under high (-70 GPa) pressure. In order to avoid the known Be-rich superconducting phases (WBe13 and WBe22) in the complex phase diagram, both known to be superconducting at 4.1 K, the sample was prepared with a slight (-5 %) excess of W. The resultant sample, prepared using high purity (99.999 %) Be, is essentially single phase WBe2, with some spread in its superconducting properties due to the known homogeneity range. (WBe2 forms in space group 194 between approximately W1.02Be1.98 and W0.88Be2.12.) Characterization was carried out with x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, rho, in zero and applied magnetic fields, and specific heat. The resistivity in zero and applied fields and specific heat data indicate that our sample of WBe2 is a bulk superconductor at ambient pressure with a Tconset in rho at 1.05 K, and Tc(rho -> 0) at -0.86 K. There is no signature of superconductivity in rho at 4.1 K, indicating successful avoidance of WBe13 and WBe22. The rho data in field indicate an upper critical field of approximately 400 gauss.
