In conventional superconductors, such as most Type I superconductors, the superconductivity is explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. According to BCS theory, electrons in a ...

Before the BCS theory of conventional superconductivity, would you have thought that a microscopic mechanism of superconductivity existed? Being hardly in existence then, I cannot tell for sure.

Superconductivity ... theory known as the BCS theory. But the electronic structure of cuprates is fundamentally different than metals and requires a different theory to explain how superconducting ...

can be explained using the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in ...
