1. Critical temperature and resistivity

The critical temperature (T c ) is the temperature at which the material's electrical resistivity falls below any measurable value (figure 3 ). Paradoxically, the resistivity of the material in its normal state above the critical temperature can be relatively high.

Example

for YBaCuO (YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ ), normal-state resistivity reaches 100 to 10,000 times that of copper at 100 K.

The evolution of resistivity above T...
