Conventional superconductor

Redirected from Conventional superconductors

Conventional superconductors are materials that display superconductivity as described by BCS theory or its extensions.

Critical temperatures of some simple metals:

ElementTc (K)
Al1.20
Hg4.15
Mo0.92
Nb9.26
Pb7.19
Ta4.48
Ti0.39
V5.30
Zn0.88

Would be nice to have something about Type-I vs Type-II superconductors, and a table with the Tc of some simple alloys. (The discussion of Type-I vs Type-II superconductors does not belong here imho because it is also releveant for high-temperature superconductors)
