Abstract
A study of the electronic properties of NbSe3 using NbSe3-NbSe3 junctions h as been made. Structures in the current against voltage curves and in the d ifferential resistance against voltage curves were observed and studied as functions of temperature between 8 K and 0.4 K and magnetic field up to 1 T . Analysis of the data shows that the pressure applied at the contact is su fficient to make NbSe3 superconducting.
