Effects of deformation on superconducting metals

Abstract

An A.C. mutual inductance method was used to measure the effects of deformation on the superconducting critical field curve for tin. The deformation was produced by pushing on the ends of a cylindrical sample which had a length to diameter ratio of unity. It was found that a 2% deformation produced no change in the shape of the critical field curve but only shifted it upward about 1.5 oersteds
