the wiki article "High-temperature_superconductivity" mentions "transition temperatures" referring to going from Normal to Superconductor, perhaps list transition temps of materials....

recommend adding inf from encyc brittanica on transition temps... quote: The vast majority of the known superconductors have transition temperatures that lie between 1 K and 10 K. Of the chemical elements, tungsten has the lowest transition temperature, 0.015 K, and niobium the highest, 9.2 K. The transition temperature is usually very sensitive to the presence of magnetic impurities. A few parts per million of manganese in zinc, for example, lowers the transition temp considerably... src: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/602809/transition-temperature
