Abstract:
Superconductivity is a remarkable quantum mechanical phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism when cooled below a critical temperature. Since its discovery in 1911, superconductivity has attracted extensive scientific and technological interest due to its potential applications in power transmission, medical imaging, high-field magnets, and quantum devices. This paper presents an overview of the fundamental principles of superconductivity, including zero resistance, the Meissner effect, and critical parameters. A detailed comparison between Type I and Type II superconductors is provided based on their magnetic behavior, critical fields, material properties, and applications.
Keywords:
