Abstract

The heat capacity of technetium has been measured in zero field between 3 and 15 K. A superconducting transition temperature T/subc/ = 7.86 K is found. The electronic heat-capacity coefficient and zero-degree Debye temperature are 4.30 mJ/mole K$sup 2$ and 454 K, respectively. An electron-phonon enhancement factor of 0.65 is found from the McMillan equation. The thermodynamic properties of the superconducting state also indicate that technetium is an intermediate- coupling superconductor. (AIP)
