Abstract

We show that the high-temperature cubic γ-U phase can be retained to room temperature by means of ultrafast-cooling technique (with a cooling rate in the range of 106 K/s) combined with alloying with selected 4d and 5d elements in the IV–VIII group of the periodic table Hofman et al. (Proceedings of the International meeting on Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR), Sao Paulo, Brazil, pp. 18–23 1998 [1]). Most of U-15 at.% T alloys (atomic percentage, T = Mo, Nb, Pt, Ru, and Ti) revealed the single cubic phase (or dominant cubic phase). All our investigated samples become superconducting below 2.11 K.
