Superconducting behavior of pressure-induced zirconium polymorph

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the available data from both alloy systems on the occurrence, the structure, the mechanism of formation, and the morphology of the phase and compared the effect of omega phase on the mechanical behaviour and on the superconducting properties.

TL;DR: Wu et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the discovery of unexpected superconductivity in orthorhombic-structured thin films of Ti2O3, a 3d1 electron system.

TL;DR: In this article, the number of displaced atoms and their mean displacement from intensity measurements of the b.c.c lattice were determined for Zr 0·8 Nb 0·2 alloy.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the magnetic superconducting properties were profoundly affected by heat treatment and that only after suitable annealing did these properties approach those of an ideal superconductor.

TL;DR: In many titanium alloys, the body-centred cubic β-phase, stable at high temperatures, can be retained on quenching, but when re-heated to temperatures below 500° C, the alloys may first become hard and brittle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the critical fields of several representative superconductors with the critical field predicted by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory, using a plot that emphasizes the detailed shape of the curves at low temperatures.
