Abstract
The superconducting transition temperature and critical magnetic field observed in compacted Pt powder samples with submicrometer grain size are as high as 20 mK and 18 mT and thus more than one order of magnitude larger than for those with larger (micrometer) grain size. The submicrometer samples exhibit strong lattice strain and significantly smaller Debye temperatures compared to bulk platinum. Moreover, the ferromagnetic spin fluctuations of the conduction electrons are partially quenched in these compacts.
