Enhanced Superconducting Critical Parameters in a New High-Entropy Alloy Nb0.34Ti0.33Zr0.14Ta0.11Hf0.08.


ABSTRACT: The structural and physical properties of the new titanium- and niobium-rich type-A high-entropy alloy (HEA) superconductor Nb0.34Ti0.33Zr0.14Ta0.11Hf0.08 (in at.%) were studied by X-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, magnetization, electrical resistivity, and specific heat measurements. In addition, electronic structure calculations were performed using two complementary methods: the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Coherent Potential Approximation (KKR-CPA) and the Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) within Density Functional Theory (DFT). The results obtained indicate that the alloy exhibits type II superconductivity with a critical temperature close to 7.5 K, an intermediate electron-phonon coupling, and an upper critical field of 12.2(1) T. This finding indicates that Nb0.34Ti0.33Zr0.14Ta0.11Hf0.08 has one of the highest upper critical fields among all known HEA superconductors.
