Abstract

The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, of a series of non-transition metals was improved by implantation of H and D into these metals kept below 10 K. In all cases the increase of Tc was considerably larger for H and D implantation with respect of He implantation causing only radiation effects. It could be shown that the enhancement of Tc depends on the electron-phonon coupling constant of the host metal, suggesting that mainly phonon effects dominate the improvement of Tc.
