Last year. iron was reported. to become superconducting at temperatures., below 2 K and pressures between 15 and 30 GPa, Nature 412 (2001) 316. The evidence presented was a weak resistivity drop, suppressed by a magnetic field above 0.2 T. and a small Meissner Signal. However, a compelling demonstration, such as the occurrence of zero resistance, was lacking. Here we report the measurement of a complete resistive transition at 22.2 GPa with an onset slightly above 2 K in two very pure samples of iron, of different origins. The superconductivity appears unusually sensitive to disorder, developing only when (lie electronic mean free path is above a threshold value, while the normal state resistivity is characteristic of a nearly ferromagnetic metal.
