3.  Super conductor are the material having
almost zero resistivity and behave as
diamagnetic below the super conducting
transition temperature.
 Super conductors are PERFECT conductors.

4.  Virtually zero electrical resistance.
 Perfect diamagnetic property.
 Critical field depends upon temperature of superconducting
material.
 Heavy current effect destroys superconductivity properties.
 At very high pressure Tc is directly proportional to pressure.
 Tc is inversely proportional to square root of At.wt of the
isotope of single superconductor.

 GINZBURG-LANDAU THEORY – 1950
 BARDEEN, COOPER, SCHRIEFFER THEORY - 1957

6. Principle:
The electron experience a special kind of attractive
interaction, over coming the coulombs force of repulsion between
them, as a result cooper pairs are formed.
At low temperature , these pairs move through lattice
without resistance and hence behave as superconductor.

8. Due to attract of electron by positive
charge, ions in conductor is disturbed

9. Ions attracted by positive charges

10. Due to deformation
positive charge increased

11. Electrons get attracted due to
increased positive charges

12. Cooper pairs formed

13.  Can carry large quantities of energy without heat loss.
 Able to generate strong magnetic fields.
 Superconductors beneficial applications in medical
imaging techniques.
 New superconductive films may result in
miniaturization .
 Superconductors increased speed in computer chips.

14.  Superconducting materials conduct current
at only given temperature known as
transition temperature.
 Superconductorsstill do not show up in most
everyday electronics.

15. Principle:
