Measurements are presented which show that the superconducting transition temperature of a eutectic alloy of Cd–Bi is 0.53°K in zero magnetic field. Critical-field measurements are given from which (dHc/dT)T=Tc is found to be 91 Oe/°K. These results are discussed in terms of the phase diagram of the Cd–Bi system and in terms of the use of Cd–Bi eutectic as a solder in constructing apparatus for use at very low temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
