Effect of 3d impurities on the superconducting transition temperature of the layered compound NbSe$sub 2$

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B, v. 8, no. 3, pp. 1038-1042
OSTI ID:4397511
The transition temperature of NbSe/sub 2/ as a function of the concentration of such paramagnetic impurities as Fe, Ni, and Co shows a very strong anomaly close to the critical concentration which destroys superconductivity. The strength of the effect in NbSe/sub 2/ is believed to be caused both by the weak depairing of the impurities and by their nonstatistical distribution resulting from the layered structure. (auth)
