Abstract
We report here our discovery of bulk superconductivity at rather high in samples having nominal compositions (≊12.5 K) and (≊13.5 K). While seems to be a single phase material, is a multiphase system. Our experimental results show that the two materials are distinct superconductors. Discovery of superconductivity in these materials is of significance since not only is their high (>10 K) but they also have nickel in large proportions. No nickel-based ternary superconductor was previously known.
