Abstract

Preliminary results shown in this proposal unambiguously reveal a superconducting state in hexagonal Laves phases so call C14. In this sense, this proposal intends to explore other possibilities with new high critical temperature superconductors. Our infrastructure installed is adequate for this study as it will be made clear in this proposal. Besides the relevant scientific aspect for new materials study, this proposal intends to contribute with the formation of high-quality human resources. (AU)
