Abstract
We have observed pressure-induced superconductivity of iodine at the f irst and the second atomic phase under pressures exceeding 22 GPa at t emperatures below 1.2 K. The transition to the superconducting state i s confirmed by both resistance and magnetization measurements. Negativ e pressure dependence of Tc is observed in monatomic state, but no sup erconductivity is observed in molecular state.
