Abstract

Metastable superconducting-like behavior of rhombohedral Bi samples exposed to surface oxidation under special conditions has been observed below the critical temperature range of 15–35 K. The ac magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistance measurements imply that the superconductivity appears in the Bi/Bi2O3 interfacial layer formed at the surface of the samples.
