2. Definition
DR. C. V. RAMAN UNIVERSITY , KOTA, BILASPUR (C.G.)
# Superconductivity is a phenomena, in
which the electrical resistance of certain
materials completely vanishes at low
temperatures. It is one of the most
interesting and sophisticated topic of
condensed matter physics.
3. # It was first discovered by the Dutch physicist
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who was the first to
liquefy helium at 4.2 Kelvin temperature
# In 1911 Kamerlingh Onnes and his assistant
discovered the phenomenon of superconductivity
while studying the resistance of metals at low
temperatures.

5. Effect of Temperature
DR. C. V. RAMAN UNIVERSITY , KOTA, BILASPUR (C.G.)
# In superconducting materials, the characteristics of
superconductivity appear when the temperature T is
lowered below a critical temperature Tc.
# The value of this critical temperature varies from
material to material.
# Conventional superconductors usually have critical
temperatures ranging from around 20 K to less than 1 K
8. Effect of Magnetic Field on Superconductor

9. # Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains.
# Large hadrons collider or particle accelerator..
# E-bombs.
# SQUIDs (Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices)
are used to detect even the weakest magnetic field.
# Making electricity generation more efficient .
# Very fast computing.
