Superconductivity of metallic aluminum antimonide

The high-pressure metallic phase of aluminunm antimnonide is super conducting critical temperature T(c) (P approximately 125 kilobars) = 2.8 degrees +/-0.2 degrees K]. This transition temperature is significantly lower than the transition temperature of metallic germanium under an equivalent high pressure. A similar result had been previously found for superconducting indiumantimonide in comparison to tin.
