Question

What is Type 1 and Type 2 superconductors?

Answer 1

The difference between type I and type II superconductors can be found in their magnetic behavior.

Type I superconductors

• Type I superconductors are those superconductors which loose their superconductivity very easily or abruptly when placed in the external magnetic field.

Type II superconductors

• In type-II superconductors, the magnetic vortices induced by the magnetic field must be “pinned” or stopped so as not to destroy the defining property of superconductivity. When the vortices are pinned, the important phase transition takes place.
