Phys. Rev. 84, 691–694 (1951)The Isotope Effect in Superconductivity. I. MercuryReceived 3 August 1951; published in the issue dated November 1951 The critical magnetic fields of various isotopic mixtures of mercury have been measured as a function of temperature. The critical magnetic field at any temperature is found to decrease with increasing average mass, and the critical temperature also decreases with increasing mass. The relationship M1/2Tc=const, connecting the critical temperature Tc and the average mass number M, is established. Conclusions are drawn concerning the specific heats of the normal and superconducting states of the isotopes. © 1951 The American Physical Society URL:
