Abstract
Sharp drop in resistivity and diamagnetic susceptibility below 12 K cl early indicate a superconducting (SC) transition in the system Y-Ni-B (nominal composition: YNi4B). Possibility of a magnetic phase transiti on at this temperature is ruled out by our specific heat measurements. Superconducting fraction of our samples, as estimated from Meissner e ffect measurements, is about 2%.
