Abstract

The ε-phase is hexagonal, space group P63/mmc. For the composition Pb7Bi3 the following data were determined, a = 3.5058(1) Å c = 5.7959(5) Å, Vol. = 61.687 Å3(5), Dc = 11.17 Mg m−3. Filings from single crystal material were used to obtain powder data by the Guinier method and the X-ray results were in accordance with single crystal neutron diffraction data. Transition to the superconducting state took place in the interval 8.3 K–8.55 K.
