Abstract

The superconducting transition temperature T_C of the tetragonal phase of a Nb₃Sn single crystal was determined calorimetrically to be 17.78±0.02 K. It is suppressed by the application of hydrostatic pressure at a rate of -(1.40±0.05)×10^-5 K bar^-1. The previous observations of double superconducting transitions in Nb₃Sn and other A15 compounds are discussed.
