The superconductivity, the low-temperature specific heat, and the paramagnetic susceptibility have been investigated in a series of dilute hexagonal titanium alloys. In the solid solutions with V or Nb, both the transition temperature and the density of states are strongly increased and the entire volume exhibits superconductivity. A similar study of Ti-Fe alloys suggests either an incomplete volume transition or a different entropy variation in the superconducting state.
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.
