Encapsulating a Superconducting Material, MgCNi3, in a Carbon Nanoflask

MgCNi3 is a non‐oxide perovskite which is both superconducting and ferromagnetic. Here MgCxNi3 is encapsulated in carbon nanoflasks via a chemical method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the occluded MgCNi3 exhibits a superconducting transition with a critical temperature of 7 K (see F...

Description
Summary:MgCNi3 is a non‐oxide perovskite which is both superconducting and ferromagnetic. Here MgCxNi3 is encapsulated in carbon nanoflasks via a chemical method. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the occluded MgCNi3 exhibits a superconducting transition with a critical temperature of 7 K (see Figure).
