摘要: We report the observation of surface superconductivity as well positive field cooled magnetization, along with peak-effect phenomenon in ac and dc magnetization measurements a high-purity spherical single crystal niobium. study how evolve over $(H)$ temperature $(T)$ phase space. suggest that observed evolution strength signal may be understood on basis dependence superconducting coherence length.
