Triplet pairing in metals: TiBe2

The possibility of $p$-state superconductivity in Ti${\mathrm{Be}}_2$ is investigated. A rough estimate, via the spin-fluctuation model, yields a transition temperature for the clean material of the order of 0.1 K. Assuming this value, we estimate that the transition could be observed at presently attainable temperatures in a sample with a residual resistivity ratio as low as 1000. We also comment briefly on the validity of the theory.
