The optical reflectivity of metals in the supraconducting state

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 October 2008

Extract

Measurements of the reflection coefficient at normal incidence on lead and tantalum mirrors in the supraconducting and non-supraconducting state did not reveal any change within the limits of accuracy (0·2−0·5% in R). This does not agree with a suggestion of R. de L. Kronig, according to which an increase in reflectivity of about 35% could have been expected.
