The effect of TM doping on the superconducting properties of ZrNi2-xTMxGa (TM = Cu, Co) Heusler compounds

We have explored the structural and superconducting properties of ZrNi2-xTMxGa (TM = Cu, Co) Heusler compounds via x-ray diffraction, scanning electron mi croscopy, electrical resistivity, dc magnetization and ac susceptibility measurements. All samples crystallized in the cubic L21 structure at roo...
