Abstract

Carbon coated Sn and Pb spheres of radius smaller than the superconducting coherence length of the bulk materials were fabricated using a sonochemical technique. Both samples reveal Type-I superconducting behavior characterized by supercritical fields. Analysis of the data reveal the expected enhancement of the critical field, H_c , in the Pb but not in the Sn nano-spheres. The different behavior of the Sn spheres is attributed to carbon doping which results in a decrease of their effective coherence length to below the spheres size.
