Description
We report on the synthesis and the superconductivity of the h-carbide type oxides Zr4Rh2Ox (x = 0.7, 1.0). Detail physical measurements show that they are strongly type-II bulk superconductors with critical temperatures of Tc ≈ 2.8 K and 4.7 K in the resistivity, respectively. Our results support that the h-carbide compounds are a versatile family of compounds for the investigation of the interplay of interstitial doping on physical properties in cage-structured compounds, especially for superconductivity.
