Flux Pinning
Flux pinning is a phenomenon where the magnetic flux lines are trapped and immobilized in a Type II superconductor due to defects in the material's crystal lattice.
Critical Temperature (Tc)
The critical temperature is the temperature below which a material exhibits superconductivity.
Cooper Pairs
Cooper pairs consist of two electrons that are bound together at low temperatures in a superconductor, which are responsible for superconductivity.
London Penetration Depth
The London penetration depth is the distance over which a magnetic field penetrates into a superconductor and decays exponentially.
Zero Electrical Resistance
Superconductors have zero electrical resistance, enabling them to conduct electricity without loss of energy.
Meissner Effect
The Meissner Effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state.
Type I and Type II Superconductors
Type I superconductors are characterized by a single critical magnetic field, whereas Type II superconductors have two critical fields and can enter a mixed state.
