Mg4Pd7As6_raw_data_files

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new compound, Mg₄Pd₇As₆, which was found to be a superconductor with a critical temperature (Tc) of 5.45 K. Powder X-ray diffraction confirmed the U₄Re₇Si₆ structure (space group Im-3m, No. 229) with a lattice parameter of a = 8.2572(1) Å. Magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements indicated that Mg₄Pd₇As₆ is a moderate-coupling (\lambda = 0.72) type-II superconductor. The files contain the powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, resistivity, and heat capacity data that were used for the analysis presented in the paper.
