Abstract

In this chapter, we give an exposition of the basic ideas in the theory of superconductivity which describes the phenomenon of electric resistance vanishing at low temperatures. For years, this phenomenon was only observed at temperatures close to absolute zero but recent discoveries of superconductivity in metalloceramics have raised the upper bound to the temperatures of liquid nitrogen.
