Superconductivity in ultrathin metallic films can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently strong electric field, which penetrates the film and promotes quantum tunneling that breaks Cooper pairs.

Superconductivity is an advantageous physical phenomenon observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero below specific critical temperatures. This phenomenon is known ...

IT is a controversial question whether the phenomenon of superconductivity is merely a consequence of the quantum theory of interaction among electrons or whether it depends on the specific ...
