Abstract

A new ternary intermetallic compound Nb₆Sn_1.5Ge_1.5 has been synthesized by the self-flux method using molten tin as a solvent. Well- developed facets of the crystal are [110] planes. The crystal structure is tetragonal (space group D_4h¹⁸ I4mcm: this ternary compound basically has a W₅Si₃-type structure. The lattice parameters are a = 10.45 (0) A ̊ and c = 5.192(0) A ̊, V = 566.97(9) A ̊³, Z = 4, and the X-ray density D_x is 8.80 g cm^-3 at room remperature. This compound does not show superconductivity down to 1.4 K.
