Chinese Phys. Lett.</em> <strong>40</strong> 107403</a>)"> Phase diagram of scandium's transition temperature as a function of pressure
Scandium is the only known elemental superconductor to have a critical temperature in the 30 K range. This phase diagram shows the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and crystal structure versus pressure for scandium. The measured results on all the five samples studied show consistent trends. (Courtesy: Chinese Phys. Lett. 40 107403)
Scandium remains a superconductor at temperatures above 30 K, making it the first element known to s
