%0 Journal Article %T Absence of Superconductivity in BeB2 %A Israel Felner %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0921-4534(01)00286-6 %X The hexagonal BeB2 compound has been prepared and found to be paramagnetic down to 5 K. The mixed (Mg,Be)B2 system has the same TC =39 K as pure MgB2, indicating that Be does not replace the Mg atoms. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0102508v1
