Description
A macroscopic current has been observed to flow along the polished end of a tin sample at T>T/sub c/. The superconductivity of a layer approx.4 x 10-4 cm thick is attributed to a three-dimensional array of regions of <301> twinning planes, separated by distances approx.10-5 cm. A superconductivity of the ''two-dimensional metal'' near such plane has been observed previously ]M. S. Khaikin and I. N. Khlyustikov, Pis'ma Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 33, 167 (1981) [JETP Lett. 33, 158 (1981)]]. The same method has now been used to observe a superconductivity of <101> twinning planes in indium twin crystals
