Conventional superconductors usually have critical temperatures ranging from around 20 K to less than 1 K. Solid mercury, for example, has a critical temperature of 4. 2 K., the highest critical temperature found for a conventional superconductor is 39 K for magnesium diboride ( MgB < sub > 2 </ sub >), although this material displays enough exotic properties that there is some doubt about classifying it as a " conventional " superconductor.

For example, the analysis of the debris at the testing site of the first U. S. hydrogen bomb, Ivy Mike, ( 1 November 1952, Enewetak Atoll ), revealed high concentrations of various actinides including americium ; due to military secrecy, this result was published only in 1956.
