Supercooling of In2Bi and InBi melts

The effect of melt overheating ΔT+ on the critical supercooling ΔT- of liquid In2Bi and InBi is studied by cyclic thermal analysis. It is shown that, the ΔT- for In2Bi is ?2.0 K, independent of the me

Superconductivity and crystallographic transitions of InBi under pressure

Measurements of the superconducting transition temperature Tc of the compound InBi under pressures up to 40 GPa reveal three different regions corresponding to the observed structural transitions I-II-III from the initial phase I of InBi type (t P4) to phase II of β-Np type (t P4) and to a body-centred tetragonal phase III (t 12). Some similarities and distinct differences in the superconducting and structural behaviour of the III-V compound InBi in comparison with the isoelectronic group IV element Sn point to some differences in the possible mechanisms for the crystallographic transformations under pressure.

Rietveld X-ray powder analysis of InBi crystalline structure at low temperatures

The dependence of the InBi crystalline structure on temperature (between 300 and 15 K) has been refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. The ranges of the lattice parameters (a and c) and the free parameter of the Bi atom (z) in the above temperature range are 5.0101(3)-4.9589(3) angstroms, 4.7824(3)-4.8396(3) angstroms and 0.3993(7)-0.3918(7) respectively.
