Abstract

Observations are made of metastable supercooled normal bulk states in lead samples. It is demonstrated that such states are realized when the critical field of surface superconductivity H c3 is lower than the critical field H c and in the opposite case. Therefore, the surface superconductivity is not a nucleus with supercritical parameters for the bulk superconductivity.
