Description

Superconductivity was observed in the graphite intercalation compounds, KHgC8 and RbHgC8, using an AC induction technique. The transition temperatures were 1.90K and 1.44K for KHgC8 and RbHgC8 respectively. A full Meissner effect was observed for KHgC8 with a temperature dependent anisotropy in critical field with a value of 25+-5 at Tsub(c). (author)
