Quantum Theory of Conducting Matter Superconductivity / by Shigeji Fujita, Kei Ito, Salvador Godoy.

Superconductivity is the most striking phenomenon in solid state physics. The electrical resistance normally arising from impurities and the phonons in a metal suddenly drops to zero below a critical temperature Tc. Not all elemental metals show superconductivity, which suggests that the phenomenon...
