The binary compound V₃Ga can exhibit two near-equilibrium phases, the A15 structure that is superconducting and the Heusler D0₃ structure that is semiconducting and antiferromagnetic. Density functional theory calculations show that these two phases are nearly degenerate, being separated in energy by only ±10 meV/atom. Our magnetization measurements on bulk-grown samples show antiferromagnetism and superconducting behavior below 14 K. Overall, these results indicate the possibility of using V₃Ga for quantum technology devices exploiting the co-existence of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in a dual-phase material.
