Material Specification for ; [Lu-Ni-B-C]
Process: Melt Processed
Notes: "All samples in this investigation were prepared from high-purity elements (RE 99.9%, Ni 99.9%, B 99% and C 99.5%) by arc melting stoichiometric mixtures of the ingots under argon atmosphere. First, Ni, B and the rare-earth metal were melted together and then small carbon pieces were added one by one to minimize losses. The resulting ingots were turned over and remelted four times after each step to promote homogeneity. Weight losses during arc melting were about 0.5 wt.%. After a thermal treatment of 3 days at 1100 °C under argon, the samples were quenched in water. ... From the integrated diffraction intensities, the impurity phase content was estimated to less than 2%..."

Measurement Method: Ac susceptibility
"The superconducting transition temperatures were measured using an AC susceptibility technique at 20 Hz. T
c is taken as the midpoint of the 10%-90% signal. The pressure dependence was determined with a piston-cylinder type hydrostatic pressure clamp with Pb as superconducting manometer." No additional measurement details were noted.
