EFFECTS OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION ON SUPERCONDUCTIVE PROPERTIES OF METALS

Abstract

Measurements were made of the superconducting transition of the resistance of cold drawn Al wires. The transition on warming was quite broad, whereas on cooling the transition occurred at low temperature and quite suddenly, resulting in a large hysteresis with respect to temperature. This hystersis disappeared after the specimens were annealed. It is concluded that the strained specimens exhibit all the aspects of supercooling with respect to the temperature at which the superconducting transition occurs. (Author)
