Abstract

Superconductivity has been discovered in polycrystalline rhodium with ${T}_{c}=325$ \ensuremath{\mu}K and ${B}_{c}(T=0)=49$ mG. The investigated samples exhibit full Meissner effect and show behavior typical of a type-I superconductor. The influence of sample purity has been studied, and the possible influence of spin fluctuations is discussed.
