Abstract

We present here an overview of the properties of transuranium superconductors, but also of the (non-superconducting) transuranium analogues of uranium superconductors. We briefly review superconductivity in actinide elements and uranium compounds and focus in particular on the PuTX5(T=Co, Rh; X=Ga, In) series, the largest superconducting system in actinides and NpPd5Al2, the so far unique neptunium superconductor. The effects of chemical substitution, ageing and pressure on the properties of transuranium superconductors are also discussed. ; JRC.E.6-Actinide research
