Summary
The authors report superconductivity at 12-13 K in a new quaternary intermetallic system, lanthanum nickel boron-nitride. They have determined the formula and crystal structure of superconducting lanthanum(3)-nickel(2)-boron(2)-nitrogen(3) (and also of a related non-superconducting phase lanthanum-nickel-boron-nitrogen). The crystal structure consists of three rock-salt-type lanthanum-nitrogen layers alternating with tetrahedral nickel(2)-boron(2) layers, an arrangement considerably more two-dimensional than is found for the superconducting boro-carbides. These discoveries strongly suggest that a large number of unusual superconducting intermetallic phases are yet to be found, based on materials more complex than have previously been considered as candidates for superconductivity.
