Abstract

We report here the physical properties of a new intermetallic superconductor Mo₇Re₁₃X(X=B,C) (T_c=8.3 K (X=B) and 8.1 K (X=C)). The crystal structure of Mo₇Re₁₃X is the β-Mn-type (cubic, space group: P4₁32) and the Re atoms form a tilted octahedron. The magnetization (M-H) curves show a typical type-II superconductivity; the lower critical field H_c1(0), upper critical field H_c2(0) and Ginzburg-Landau (GL) parameter value κ are, respectively, 3.0 Oe, 15.4 T and 101 for X=B and 3.1 Oe, 14.8 T and 98 for X=C. The superconducting gap versus k_BT_c: 2Δ/k _BT_c values are 4.4 for X=B and 4.2 for X=C, which implies that superconductivity in Mo₇Re₁₃X(X=B,C) can be described by an s-wave strong coupling regime.
