SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AS A PROBE OF THE MAGNETIC NATURE OF TRANSITION - METAL IMPURITIES DISSOLVED IN HOST METALS*

 

I.M. TANG

ABSTRACT: The use of superconductivity to probe the magnetic nature of transition-metal (TM) impurities when they are dissolved in various host metals is reviewed. Special attention is given to the use of transport property measurments to differentiate between the TM impurities whose behaviors lie on the opposite sides of the magnetic to non-magnetic transition region. New results concerning the effect of non-magnetic TM impurities which give rise to local spin fluctuations on strong coupling anisotropic superconductors are presented.
