Abstract

We establish the empirical correlation for diborides (AB2) between T c and crystal chemical parameters of a simpler structural fragment—sandwich A2(B2) where the superconductivity appears—like that found in high-T c cuprate superconductors. Our results suggest that in the absence of vacacies in B2 plane, T c of diborides can be higher, that is, 77 K, the evaporation temperature of liquid nitrogen. We discuss critical crystal chemistry parameters controlling T c and ways to achieve higher transition temperatures in diborides, based on this correlation.
