A15 phases

A series of intermetallic compounds which have a particular crystal structure and the chemical formula A₃B, where A represents a transition element and B can be either a transition or a nontransition element. Many A15 compounds exhibit the phenomenon of superconductivity at relatively high temperatures in the neighborhood of 20 K (-424°F) and in high magnetic fields on the order of several tens of teslas (several hundred kilogauss). High-temperature–high-field superconductivity has a number of important technological applications and is a challenging fundamental research area in condensed-matter physics. See Superconductivity

The A15 compounds crystallize in a structure in which the unit cell, the repeating unit of the crystal structure, has the overall shape of a cube. The B atoms are located at the corners and in the center of the cube, while the A atoms are arranged in pairs on the cube faces (see illustration). A special characteristic of the A15 crystal structure is that the A atoms form mutually orthogonal linear chains that run throughout the crystal lattice, as shown in the illustration. The extraordinary superconducting properties of the A15 compounds are believed to be primarily associated with these linear chains of transition-element A atoms. See Crystal

A15 crystal structure of the A 3 B intermetallic compounds

A15 crystal structure of the A₃B intermetallic compounds

Processes have been developed for preparing multifilamentary superconducting wires that consist of numerous filaments of a superconducting A15 compound, such as Nb₃Sn, embedded in a nonsuperconducting copper matrix. Superconducting wires can be used in electric power transmission lines and to wind electrically lossless coils (solenoids) for superconducting electrical machinery (motors and generators) and magnets. Superconducting magnets are employed to produce intense magnetic fields for laboratory research, confinement of high-temperature plasmas in nuclear fusion research, bending beams of charged particles in accelerators, levitation of highspeed trains, mineral separation, and energy storage.
