Abstract

Superconductivity, the simultaneous total disappearance of electrical resistance and the appearance of perfect diamagnetism, is a strange property of certain elements and alloys which appears in temperature ranges close to absolute zero.

Paper not presented at the 1960 Cryogenic Engineering Conference, It is, however, inserted at this point as an introductory paper for the superconductivity panel papers which appear later.
