Abstract
The energy of a converging shock wave has been used to form the intermetallic compound Nb3Sn from its elemental powders. A reaction pattern indicative of compound formation is observed when a critical shock pressure is exceeded. The compound is obtained in a ``pressure-temperature quenched state'' and exhibits a transition temperature to superconductivity of 16.3°K.
