Abstract

We investigate the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the resistance R of thin Pd and PdHx films. We show that the logarithmic behaviour R(T) ≈ A ln T is dominated in Pd by the interaction effect. Loading progressively with hydrogen shows first no change in A and then a decrease followed by a sign reversal when superconducting fluctuations prevail. The application of a magnetic field restores then a positive and large value of A. These data are analyzed within recent theories.
