Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature. This behavior is due to the formation of Cooper pairs, which are pairs of electrons that behave as bosons and can flow through the material without scattering. Superconductivity has a wide range of applications, including in the power industry, medical imaging, and particle accelerators.
Materials That Exhibit Superconductivity
Not all materials are capable of exhibiting superconductivity. In general, metals with a high density of states at the Fermi level are more likely to be superconducting. Some of the most common superconducting materials include aluminum, lead, tin, and niobium.
