The electrical resistance normally arising from impurities and the phonons in a metal suddenly drops to zero below a critical temperature T\u003csub\u003ec\u003c\/sub\u003e. Not all elemental metals show superconductivity, which suggests that the phenomenon depends on the lattice structure and Fermi surface. The cause of the superconductivity is found to be the phonon-exchange attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuantum Theory of Conducting Matter: Superconductivity \u003c\/em\u003etargets scientists, researchers and second-year graduate-level students focused on experimentation in the field of condensed matter physics, solid state physics, superconductivity and the Quantum Hall Effect.
