V₃Si

Vanadium-silicon. Several vanadium alloys show superconducting behavior. The first A15 phase superconductor was a vanadium compound, V₃Si, which was discovered in 1952.^[1] Vanadium-gallium tape is used in superconducting magnets (17.5 teslas or 175,000 gauss). The structure of the superconducting A15 phase of V₃Ga is similar to that of the more common Nb₃Sn and Nb₃Ti.^[2]
