aData for RNi2B2C (R -- La, Ce-Nd, Sm-Dy; T c < 4.2 K) reported in Siegrist
et al.
(1994a*); Cava
et
al.
(1994e); Gupta
et aL
(1995). Data for YTzBzC (T = Os, Co, Rh, Ir; T c < 4.2K) reported in
Nagarajan
et aL
(1995). Data for LaTzB2C (T = Rh, Ir; Tc < 1.4 K) reported in Cava
et al.
(1994c*).
6Magnetic structure at 5.1 and 2.2 K reported in Huang
et aL
(1995b*); substitution of 0.75% of Ni by
Co destroyed superconductivity, magnetic structure at 2 K reported in Huang
et al.
(1996").
CTc'~23
K reported for multiphase samples of compositions YPd4BC0. 2 or YPdsB3C0. 3, sometimes
showing second signal at ~ 10 K (superconducting phase not identified with certainty) (Nagarajan
et
al.,
1994; Hossain
et al.,
1994; Cava
et al.,
1994d).
aSecond signal at 21.5 K observed for sample of nominal composition ThPd3B3C (superconducting
phase not identified).
