Abstract:
Several physical properties of the superconducting Heusler compounds,
focusing on two systems (Sc, Y, Lu)Pd2Sn and APd(2)M, where A = Hf, Zr
and M = Al, In, are summarized and compared. The analysis of the data
shows the importance of the electron-phonon coupling for
superconductivity in this family. We report the superconducting
parameters of YPd2Sn, which has the highest T-c among all known Heusler
superconductors.
