Reynolds Metals

If aluminium is mixed with another metal can it still be a superconductor?

I've read that aluminium on its own can be a superconductor. However can it still be one if it is mixed with another metal as an alloy?

  1. Aluminum by itself is very weak superconductor. If I recall it correctly, its critical temperature is 150 mK. Usually alloys of two or more superconductors are better superconductors than each of the components. Aluminum will probably improve as semiconductor a great deal if something like Sn is mixed in.
