Palladium Dependent Superconductivity in the Nb2PdxSe5 System

ORAL

Abstract

Single crystals of Nb2PdxSe5 across the range 0.68<x<0.95 were grown with the objective of studying the superconducting properties as a function of Pd stoichiometry. Electrical conductivity measurements down to 0.4K indicate a Pd-concentration dependent dome of superconductivity in this system. Here we discuss the crystal growth method, structural characterization, and the evolution of the superconducting properties within the accessible range of Pd stoichiometries.
