摘要：

We report on the results of a search for superconductivity in Li. We find no evidence for the predicted transition to superconductivity at any temperature down to 5 mK in magnetic fields down to 0.4 mu T. However, an unexpected Curie-Weiss temperature dependence in the magnetic susceptibility is observed. We discuss the possibility that this signal arises from the Li itself, the possibility that is arises from Kondo behavior, and the implications of the effect for the predicted T-c of Li.
