Susceptibility measurements of Nb between room temperature and liquid helium temperatures

  • Published:
Applied Scientific Research, Section B

Summary

Measurements have been carried out on bulk Nb between room temperature and liquid helium temperatures. The susceptibility shows an increase of 1% per 100 degrees for decreasing temperatures. No field dependence could be detected up to liquid hydrogen temperature. This is in agreement with the results obtained by other authors. In the liquid He region some anomalies appear, notwithstanding fields were used higher than the critical one. It is supposed that the sample was not completely in the normal state.
