Abstract
IN continuation of previous investigations on the magnetic hysteresis phenomena in supra-conductors, we have recently reported on experiments concerning the time effect1. We observed that after a sudden change of one of the variables of state (magnetic induction or temperature), a final value of the induction in a long supra-conducting cylinder was only attained after a considerable time (up to 20 minutes). The effect was strongest in single crystals and very pure polycrystalline specimens.
