Rational Design of High-Tc Superconductivity in the Z = 5.67 Family with
Ne = 2.33    [PDF]

O. Paul Isikaku-Ironkwe

The concepts of "Rational Design of Superconductivity" from Periodic Table properties were proposed in an earlier paper (ArXiv: 1204.0233). We had shown latter too that high-Tc superconductivity exists in the Z=7.333 family with Ne=2.667, of which MgB2 is a member. Here we propose and show that compounds with Z = 5.667 and Ne=2.333 will meet the conditions for high-Tc superconductivity similar to the Z = 7.333 family. The predicted Tcs for the ternary and quaternary systems of the Z =5.667 family would fall in the range 40K - 100K. We give material specific examples of some such possible rational designs of high-Tc superconductivity.
