Abstract

We report bulk superconductivity in ZrVGe with T c = 6 K determined by magnetization, electronic transport and specific heat measurements. From the analysis of magnetization and resistivity data we obtain the thermodynamic critical fields μ 0 H c 1 and μ 0 H c 2 , respectively. The heat capacity data deviate from conventional BCS theory suggesting possible unconventional superconducting behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
