Abstract
In this report we present experimental and theoretical investigations of the properties of the recently discovered W7Re13B superconductor. This compound is synthesized by means of inductive melting and contains a pure phase with a sharp superconducting transition at T-c = 7.22 K. The superconductor exhibits type-II behaviour with reversible magnetic properties in a large part of the H-T diagram. The irreversibility line with the irreversibility field mu H-0(irr)(0) equal to 2 T is well separated from the upper critical field. The values of lower mu H-0(c1)(0) and upper mu H-0(c2)(0) critical fields are equal to 8.8 mT and 11.8 T, respectively. These values correspond to penetration depth lambda, coherence length xi and Ginzburg-Landau coefficient kappa equal to 2675 angstrom, 52 angstrom and 51, respectively. The critical current density J(c) is low and equal to 4.9 kA cm(-2) at zero magnetic field and at 2 K. The effect of pressure on superconducting properties is almost negligible, probably due to the low compressibility of this compound. The pressure coefficient dT(c)/dP is negative and equal to -0.037 K GPa(-1). The XPS spectrum and numerical calculations confirm that the main contributions to the density of states at the Fermi level come from W(5d) and Re(5d) states.
