Abstract

We briefly report the synthesis, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat for a new antiperovskite superconductor ZnNNi3 with Tc ∼ 3 K, and related compounds CdNNi 3 and InNNi3. In these materials, CdNNi3 has been synthesized for the first time by our work. The crystal structures of these compounds have the same antiperovskite-type such as MgCNi3 and CdCNi3.
