We investigate bulk superconductivity in a high-quality single crystal of Bi\(_2\)Pd (\(\beta\)-Bi\(_2\)Pd, space group; I4/mmm) at temperatures less than 5.4 K by exploring its electrical ...resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity shows convex-upward behaviors at temperatures greater than 40-50 K, which can be explained by a parallel-resistor model. In addition, we demonstrate that this material is a multiple-band/multiple-gap superconductor based on the temperature dependences of the specific heat and the upper critical field.
