Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for using a group of actinide and lanthanide (rare earth) metal compounds as well as early transition metal compounds that have the electric superconducting property at 151 K or higher that have the potential to reach a superconducting transition (critical) temperature (Tc) of room temperature (298 K) or even higher.
