Abstract

New crystal data for the intermetallic sigma phase in the Mo-Ru-system are reported and the indexing of the pattern given in the Powder Diffraction File has been extended. The material is tetragonal, P42/mnm (No. 136) with a = 9.5652(4) Å; c = 4.9362(3) Å; Vol = 451.63(7) Å3, Dc = 10.79 Mg m−3 for the composition Mo.63Ru.37, and a = 9.5569(21) Å; c = 4.9418(20) Å; Vol = 451.35(38) Å3, Dc = 10.75 Mg m−3 for Mo.70Ru.30.

Powder data were obtained by the Guinier method and the indexing was corroborated by single crystal data. Transition to the superconducting state took place in the interval 6.8 K – 8.8 K.
