Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon, observed in some materials, that entails the ability to conduct electricity with ...

second-order phase transitions & the Ginzburg-Landau calculation for magnetic flux penetration WEEK 5 Microscopic theory of superconductivity, concepts of the energy gap and Cooper pairs, introduction ...

Before the BCS theory of conventional superconductivity, would you have thought that a microscopic mechanism of superconductivity existed? Being hardly in existence then, I cannot tell for sure.

In conventional superconductors, such as most Type I superconductors, the superconductivity is explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. According to BCS theory, electrons in a ...

can be explained using the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972. However, there exists a large group of superconducting ...

Following the emergence later in the 1950s of the microscopic Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity, Lev Gorkov showed that Ginzburg–Landau theory emerged naturally ...

The quest for high-temperature superconductivity continues to captivate scientists. Recent progress sheds new light on a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now. Superconductivity is ...
