Abstract
Using golden coordinates we have successfully isolated the sixty known superconductors with >10 K into three small volumes which occupy about 1% of elemental configuration space. Two volumes contain the familiar NbN and Ge materials, but the third volume contains both the Chevrel sulfide and Bednorz-Müller-Chu oxide materials. Compounds in the third volume with formulae near are suggested as promising candidates for new high- superconductors.
