Experimental Studies in Solid State and Low Temperature Physics.

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out in a broad area of low temperature and solid state physics which includes superconductivity, and magnetism in metals. The work in superconductivity has involved investigations of the Josephson effect, studies of the pair-field susceptibility of superconductors and investigations of the thermodynamics of the superconducting phase transition. The competition between the metal-nonmetal transition and superconductivity has also been studied in random metal-rare gas systems. In the area of magnetism, magnetically ordered materials and dilute magnetic alloys have been investigated. Enhanced hyperfine nuclear magnetic ordering was discovered in PrCu(6) at about 2.5 mK. The ONR contributed to the support of this work by supplying helium gas which was used to make up losses in the helium recovery operation associated with the use of liquid helium by the workers named in the proposal.
