Dumbbells of Five-Connected Ge Atoms and Superconductivity in CaGe<sub>3</sub>

Abstract

CaGe<sub>3</sub> has been synthesized at high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. The atomic pattern comprises intricate germanium layers of condensed moleculelike dimers. Below <i>T</i><sub>c</sub> = 6.8 K, type II superconductivity with moderately strong electron–phonon coupling is observed
