Abstract The superconducting phenomenon is characterized by: the zero electrical resistivity (p ~ 0) which is the most important property of the superconducting state [1] and the perfect diamagnetism [2], it exhibits these two properties when cooled below a particular temperature and magnetic field called superconducting transition temperature T e and critical magnetic field Be, respectively. This was discovered by Heike Kimberling Ones et al. in November 1911, when he started to study the resistivity of some elements during cooling. Figure 1-1 shows the expected normal resistance curve for Au element [3]. In this figure, the resistance decreases continuously down to a constant value at low temperature. But for Hg [4] the resistance drops abruptly to an immeasurable value below T; as shown in Figure 1-2, which remarkably different from that for no superconducting metals, so one can say that superconductivity represents a different physically state. In other words, these materials undergo a second order phase transition from a normal state to a superconducting state at Te, where the internal structure of the material change rather than its physical state. |
