We report the discovery of superconductivity in the ternary aluminide Nb$_{5}$Sn$_{2}$Al, which crystallizes in the W$_{5}$Si$_{3}$-type structure with one-dimensional Nb chains along the $c$-axis. It is found that the compound has a multiband nature and becomes a weakly coupled, type-II superconductor below 2.0 K. The bulk nature of superconductivity is confirmed by the specific heat jump, whose temperature dependence shows apparent deviation from a single isotropic gap behavior. The lower and upper critical fields are estimated to be 2.0 mT and 0.3 T, respectively. From these values, we derive the penetration depth, coherence length and Ginzburg-Landau parameter to be 516 nm, 32.8 nm and 15.6, respectively. By contrast, the isostructural compound Ti$_{5}$Sn$_{2}$Al dose not superconduct above 0.5 K. A comparison of these results with other W$_{5}$Si$_{3}$-type superconductors suggests that $T_{rm c}$ of these compounds correlates with the average number of valence electrons per atom.
In this article, we report the occurrence of superconductivity in Sn0.4Sb0.6 single crystal at below 4K. Rietveld refined Powder XRD data confirms the phase purity of as grown crystal, crystallizing in rhombohedral R-3m space group with an elongated
The type II Dirac semimetal PdTe$_2$ is unique in the family of topological parent materials because it displays a superconducting ground state below 1.7 K. Despite wide speculations on the possibility of an unconventional topological superconducting
The type-II Dirac semimetal PdTe2 was recently reported to be a type-I superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature Tc = 1.65 K. However, the recent results from tunneling and point contact spectroscopy suggested the unusual state of
The transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe$_2$ was recently shown to be a unique system where a type II Dirac semimetallic phase and a superconducting phase co-exist. This observation has led to wide speculation on the possibility of the emergence of a
The search for unconventional superconductivity in Weyl semimetal materials is currently an exciting pursuit, since such superconducting phases could potentially be topologically nontrivial and host exotic Majorana modes. The layered material TaIrTe4
