Why Tc of MgB2 is the highest in a number of diborides?
L.M. Volkova, S.A. Polyshchuk, F. E. Herbeck
TL;DR
This paper explores why MgB2 exhibits the highest critical temperature among diborides, attributing it to nonstoichiometry in the boron plane of heavy metal diborides.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that nonstoichiometry in the boron plane explains the high Tc in MgB2 compared to other diborides.
Findings
Nonstoichiometry in the boron plane influences Tc.
MgB2's high Tc is linked to its nonstoichiometric composition.
The problem of Tc in diborides relates to variable boron plane composition.
Abstract
It is shown, that the problem rising Tc diborides is a problem of nonstoichiometry in a plane of boron in diborides of heavy metals being compounds of variable composition.
