Superconductivity at High Frequencies

Abstract

WE have recently repeated with unsilvered vacuum flasks our experiments reported in NATURE of Aug. 29, p. 373, and in the Phil. Mag. of September last, and find lead and tin become superconducting with currents having frequencies of the order of 107 per second. We also find that the transition temperatures are progressively lowered as the frequency is increased.
