Superconductivity in the TiZrNbSn System

Modern materials science places a strong emphasis on exploring advanced materials such as high-entropy alloys due to their rich functionalities, such as high yield strength, cryogenic performance and shape memory properties. In particular, shape memoryShape memory alloys (SMAs) have useful and distinct properties that make them appropriate for a wide range of applications in the aerospace, automobile, and biomedical sectors. The TiNbZrSn SMAs were designed primarily for biomedical applications due to their better biocompatibility over commonly available and extensively researched NiTi-based SMAs. While previous research has focused mostly on metallurgical and mechanical properties, this chapter focuses on the simultaneous occurrence of superelasticitySuperelasticity and superconductivity within the same material at different temperatures within the TiZrNbSn system. We present an overview of the magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties of single β-phase BCC-structured TiZrNbSn SMAs. Here, we showed that TiZrNbSn SMAs exhibit both superelasticitySuperelasticity and superconductivity at different temperatures.
