10K as shown in Table 1.2 and Table 1.3 [8] , and there is some possibility of operatingat the temperature of 4.2K.Table 1.2 Critical Temperature of compounds with B1 structureTable 1.3 Critical temperature of binaryA15 compounds8

The B1 crystal structure has a cubic unit cell with two kinds of atom. It is bestthought of as a face-centered cubic array of anions with an interpenetrating fcc cationlattice (or vice-versa) so as to form a 3D checkerboard pattern as shown in Fig. 1.3.The cell looks the same whether you start with anions or cations on the corners. Eachion is 6-coordinate and has a local octahedral geometry. The most common of the B1structure is that of NaCl.Fig. 1.3 The B1 crystal structureThe A15 crystal structure (also known as β-W or Cr 3 Si structure types) is seriesof intermetallic compounds with the chemical formula A 3 B (where A is a transitionmetal and B can be any element) and a specific structure. Many of these compoundshave superconductivity at around 20 K, which is comparatively high, and remainsuperconductive in magnetic fields of tens of teslas. This kind of superconductivity(Type-II superconductivity) is an important area of study as it has several practicalapplications.The first time of the A15 structure observed was in 1931 when an electrolyticallydeposited layer of tungsten was examined. [9] The discussion if the β–tungstenstructure is an allotrope of tungsten or the structure of a tungsten suboxide waslong-standing and in 1998 the articles about the discussion were still published. In theend it seems most likely that the material is a true allotrope of tungsten. [10]9
