Experiments with a new apparatus made us conclude that also in the transition from the normal into the superconductive state no irreversible increase in entropy takes place and further that for pure metals the transition from the superconductive into the normal state or vice-versa may be called reve

โฆ Synopsis
We report on measurements of resistivity and magnetoresistivity, Hall effect and upper critical field on normal and superconducting heavily boron-doped diamond layer produced by microwave plasma assisted chemical vapour deposition. The magnetoresistivity shows a characteristic change as a function of the boron concentration with strong evidence for a closed Fermi surface for superconducting samples. Although experimental and theoretical results favour a conventional, weak coupling electron-phonon interpretation of the superconducting mechanism, the observed dependence of the transition temperature T C on the hole concentration cannot be consistently described by the conventional theory.
