My sample!
Ref. S. Okada. et al., J. Phys.
Soc. Jpn., 65, 1924 (1996)
In case of Lithium
Lithium have a very low Tc at
ambient pressure.
But the Tc reach to 20 K under
pressure with phase transition.
400 μK
Property of beryllium
Crystal structure : hcp
Melting point: 1551 K
toxic
Beryllium is
hard
reactive
Ref. D. A. Young, Phase Diagrams of the Elements
(University of California, 1991), P. 79.
Debye temperature: 1440 K
Debye Temp.
cf. diamond : 2230 K
Li
: 344 K
Ca : 230 K
Fe
: 470 K
In BCS theory…
Tc = 1.14 θD exp [ -1 / N(0) V ]
θD : Debye temperature
N(0): Density of electrons near the Fermi surface
V : Interaction between electron and lattice vibration
but
Tc of beryllium is 24.38 mK at ambient pressure
