		In conventional superconductors, superconductivity is caused by a force of attraction between certain conduction electronss arising from the exchange of phonons, which causes the conduction electrons to exhibit a superfluid phase composed of correlated pairs of electrons.
		Superconductivity was discovered in 1911 by Onnes, who was studying the resistivity of solid mercury at cryogenic temperatures using the recently-discovered liquid helium as a refrigerant.
		In 1950, the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity was devised by Landau and Ginzburg.

		The Cold Wars tells the history of superconductivity, providing perspective on the development of the field and its relationship with the rest of physics.
		Superconductivity offers an excellent example of the evolution of physics in the twentieth century: the science itself, its foundations, and its social context.
		The Handbook of Superconducting Materials is a definitive collection of tutorial style articles in two volumes describing techniques for the fabrication and analysis of both high and low Tc superconducting materials.

		Textbook-like, its contents spans 2,000 years of history, starting with Democritus, the Greek philosopher.
		Our team will research the history of electricity and how it can be used to make our lives better.
		Topics include the speed of light, wavelengths, mirrors, lenses, diffraction, lasers, refractions, reflections, solar power, and a history on the study of light.

	Content Frame for the Finding Aid to the John Bardeen Papers, 1910-1991 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Research Areas: Electrical conduction in semiconductors and metals; surface properties of semiconductors; theory of superconductivity; and diffusion of atoms in solids.
		The tape-recorded interviews contain comments on theoretical physicists, experimental physics, theory of superconductivity, many body theory, scientific publication, education, Charles Bardeen, solid state physics, considerations in coming to Illinois, recruitment of new faculty, scientific understanding and communication between and education of non-scientists and scientists.
		Exploiting the full scope and significance of the Bardeen papers for the history of science and technology will thus be a cooperative venture of researchers and archivists in examining questions in detail beyond what appears on the folder title.
