Abstract

We discovered the superconductivity in Lu₂SnC with the T _c of 5.2 K. Lu₂SnC crystallizes in a hexagonal structure (Cr₂AlC-type) with the space group of P6₃/mmc. We measured the physical properties of Lu₂SnC in the superconducting state as functions of temperature and magnetic field. The M-H curve shows the typical type-II superconducting behavior. Superconducting parameters H_c1(0), H_c2(0), λ(0), ξ(0) and κ_GL are determined to be about 110 Oe, 4.5 kOe, 250 nm, 27 nm, and 9.2, respectively.
