Superconductivity 1. Introduction Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and the expulsion of magnetic fields at extremely low temperatures. The discovery of superconductivity was made in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes who observed mercury's sudden loss of resistance at temperatures close to absolute zero. 2. Characteristics of Superconductor...…
