Abstract: | The effect of Mg and C contents on TC in MgCN3, and structure and superconductivity of MgCNi3-x Co x were studied. It is found that the excess of Mg and C in initial material mixture is favorable to improvement inT c and helps to obtain single-phase samples. For preparing MgCNi3 superconductor, the optimum composition of starting materials is MgC1.45Ni3 with excess of Mg (20 wt.%) of the stoichiometric composition. In gCNi3-x Co x system, a continuous solid solution is formed, lattice parameter decreases slightly andT c decreases obviously with increasingx. A suppression of superconductivity is observed due to the substitution of Co (Mn) for Ni. The suppression effect is smaller for the substitution of Co than that of Mn |
