Quasi 1D Layered Nb2PdxSy Superconductor for Industrial Applications

This chapter provides the reader with a general overview of Nb₂Pd_xS_y superconducting material. Superconductivity, a fascinating research field with outstanding superconducting properties, has inspired the researchers because of its wide range of potential applications. It summarizes the fabrication techniques of Nb₂Pd_xS_y superconductor. Detailed structural and superconducting properties of this superconductor are discussed. Finally, the conclusion of this chapter is presented at the end. It is essential to explore the existence of an energy gap in a new low-dimensional superconductor. The chapter provides the normal-state properties of the Nb₂ PdS₅ compound from which the sample goes into the superconducting state. The discovery of superconductivity in quasi 1-D Pd-based ternarylayered compound Nb₂Pd_xS_y brings in a new superconducting family. The large upper critical field in Nb₂Pd_xSy system is inversely proportion to the diameter of superconducting fibers.
