• Cooper pairs– Between e- (different spin)– Attractive force (i+ and e-)– Positive charge attracts the following e-
• Time delayed due to heavy i+ • Large distance between the e- • FC → 0• Energy drop for the e- of a Cooper pair
Theory behind – BCS theory

• TC of pure metals:– Al @ 1.2 K– Hg @ 4.15 K– Nb @ 9.2 K
• Not superconducting:– Good normal electrical

Meissner Ochsenfeld effect• Superconductor is diamagnetic
– Shielding of external magnetic flux by electrical currents at its surface
• Transition to normal conducting state– For B ≥ BC → Ekin,shield_e- ≥ D – For both: shield current or transport current (jC)

Types of Superconductors• Type 1 Superconductor
– Meissner phase• Type 2 Superconductor
– Shubnikov phase (alloys)– Magnetic flux is entering the superconductor in
quantum (normal conducting islands)

Applications• @ CERN:
– electrical conductors (cables) at the LHC for magnets (di-, quadro- sextupol), cavities
– NbTi (TC=9.2 K, BC2=15 T; workhorse among superconductors)
• Else:– MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Tim Havens – GE Healthcare
• 1977 first clinical imaging,• 30.000 scanners worldwide in 2011,• > 50% of superconductor worldwide, Script of TU Dresden
– SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices), – Transport (ship motor, train, centrifuge, clean room)– SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy storage)– FCL (Fault Current Limiter) is promising
