BCS Theory
A theory that explains conventional superconductivity, holding that electrons are indirectly attracted to one another through lattice vibrations (phonons) to form Cooper pairs, thereby enabling resistance-free current flow.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Conventional superconductors (such as niobium-titanium alloys and MgB2) follow BCS theory, in which electrons form Cooper pairs through indirect attraction via phonons, and the critical temperature Tc is usually low, at most about 39K (MgB2).
The formation mechanism of Cooper pairs originates from BCS theory (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer), which was the achievement awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
