Abstract
The characteristics of electronic transport properties: behaviors of magnetization curve and magnetic relaxation of a typical normal superconductor 2H−NbSe2 are investigated. The results show thatT c and ΔT c of the samples are 7. 2, 0. 18 K, indicating that superconducting energy gap at zero temperature is 1. 1. meV. No fish tail shape is found in the magnetization curves at several temperatures. The relationship between remnant magnetic moment and time reveals that the magnetic flux creep of the sample agrees with the Kim-Anderson thermal activation model with the relaxation rateS=0.00036 atT=6 K.
