SEARCH FOR SUPERCONDUCTIVITY IN THE HYDRIDES OF LANTHANUM

Journal Article · · Phys. Chem. Solids
Metallic lanthanum hydride samples having atomic ratios H/La of 1.8, 1.96, 2.03, 2.11, 2.15, and 2.36 are not superconducting at 1.1 deg K. LaH/sub 1.96/ moreover is not superconducting at 0.33 deg K. Extensive nuclear magnetic resonance measurements made previously by Schreiber on the same samples provide considerable information on their electronic structure. The lack of superconductivity is compatible with the density of states information obtained from the nuclear magnetic resonance data, and is consistent with a split d-band model of the hydrides. It is also consistent with Matthias' empirical rules. (auth)
