摘要
Powder samples of the mixed hexaborides (Y, La)B6 were prepared by borothermal reduction. The superconducting transition temperatures, as measured by static Faraday susceptibility and by Meissner flux expulsion, were observed to range from 6.0 ± 0.1 K for YB6 to 1.6 ± 0.1 K for Y0.5La0.5.5B6. The influence of the impurities ytterbium, cerium, neodymium, iron, barium and calcium was systematically examined. It appears that the very low critical temperature (0.1 K) of LaB6 is due to a small magnetic moment from the lanthanum itself. The change of lattice parameter only exerts a minor influence on the superconductivity. © 1979.
