Research Progress on Ni-Based Antiperovskite Compounds

The superconductivity in antiperovskite compound MgCNi3 was discovered in 2001 following the discovery of the superconducting MgB2. In spite of its lower superconducting transition temperature (8 K) than MgB2 (39 K), MgCNi3 has attracted considerable attention due to its high content of magnetic ele...
