Here, we present a study of superconductivity in the Ga-Ag alloy embedded into porous template with pore diameter of 10 nm. The composition was close to the eutectic point in the gallium-rich range. We measured DC and AC magnetizations for temperatures from 1.8 to 10 K and magnetic fields up to 6 T. Three superconducting transitions were found at temperatures 7.05, 6.08, and 2.65 K in contrast to the bulk counterpart. Upper critical field lines were obtained. Activation barriers were evaluated from the AC data. The temperatures of the superconducting transitions were ascribed to emergence of β- and iota-Ga and of an intermetallic different from bulk Ag3Ga2. Keywords: nanostructured Ga-Ag eutectic alloy, superconducting transitions, segregated phases, DC and AC susceptibility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
