Abstract

Physical properties of a new superconductor Ba₂₄Si₁₀₀ crystallographically identical to Ba₂₄Ge₁₀₀ are studied by electric transport, specific heat capacity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The density of states at the Fermi level N_EF=0.148 states eV^-1 (Si-atom)^-1 and a discrete jump of C_p at the superconducting transition temperature ΔC_p=0.272 J K^-1 mol^-1 are obtained. The exponential fit of C_p under the superconducting states gives an energy gap 2Δ=0.423 meV and shows that this is a superconductor having an s-wave character or an isotropic energy gap. On the basis of the experimental data, other important physical parameters are also described.
