Abstract
It has been found that tensile deformation at liquid helium temperature partially transforms-α-mercury to a γ phase which is distinguished from the α and β phases by having a lower superconducting critical field curve and a lower transition temperature (T cγ=3·74±0·05°K compared with the values found by Schirber and Swenson (1961), T cα=4·153°K and T cβ=3·949°K). Resistance measurements show that the γ phase transforms back to α-mercury at about 53°K.Keywords
