Abstract

Temperature and field dependences of the IV characteristics and their derivatives are studied for Sb–Au and Sb–Sb point contacts containing inclusions of the superconducting modification of Sb. It is found that the superconducting clusters exist in a hitherto unknown phase of Sb which is a type II superconductor with Tc ≃ 6.3 − 6.7 K. The behavior of electron–phonon interaction point-contact spectra for such contacts is studied in a magnetic field.
