Description

Based on x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, critical field, glass transition, and density measurements, several superconducting properties of glassy Be/sub x/Zr/sub 100-x/ (30 < x < 45) alloys are studied. The transition temperature increases from about 1 K for x = 45 to 2.8 K for x = 30; this is attributed to the increase of the degree of disorder as Be concentration decreases. The glassy alloys are characterized as type-II medium-coupled superconductors with lambda = 1 to 1.5 and with a high Ginzburg-Landau parameter of about 60
