Abstract
The characteristics of the switch from the resistive
to the superconducting state (backswitch) of a strip film
of indium, driven resistive by a short current pulse, are
investigated. The relationship of the time interval from
pulse cessation to the time of reaching the complete superconducting
state is explored against parameters of temperature
and the DC measuring current for a moderately thick
(/^ 6 ju ) film. An empirical equation for the relationship
is developed and the technique for the derivation demonstrated.
Additional observations of phenomena encountered in
the course of experiments are recorded without attempt at
explanation.http://www.archive.org/details/backswitchcharac00ammeMajor, United States Marine CorpsLieutenant, United States Nav
