Abstract
Using a solid-state reaction method starting with Nb and Nb

Sn

powders, we have synthesized bulk Nb

Sn samples with uniformly distributed Sn contents of 24%, 25%, and 25.6%. Among them, the sample with Sn content = 25% may go through a structural phase transition from cubic to tetragonal structure at a low temperature of 43 K. The X-ray diffraction and resistivity measurements show systematic changes in samples with three different Sn contents. We found that the highest

is located in the sample with exactly stoichiometric composition (Sn content = 25%), which may be due to the tetragonal structure. In addition, properties of flux jumps under various physical conditions in Nb

Sn materials are investigated through magnetization measurements, and significant suppression to flux jumps was found in samples with slightly higher Sn content (Sn content ≈25.6%) and better compactness and grain refinement.
