Type I superconductors and BCS theory

edit

I think that the statement is incorrect. BCS theory explains that attraction between electrons leads to superconductivity. This applies to all Type I superconductors and to some Type II superconductors. Which Type II? alloys of metals but not high temperature superconductors (such as cuprates).

Merging proposal deleted as discussed on the corresponding pages. "Conventional" has nothing to do with "type-I". "BCS superconductor" is appropriate, but there is a nice symmetry between "conventional supercondtor" and "unconventional supercondtor", and there is no good alternative for the latter. The discussed aritcles should gradually evolve from stubs to GAs. NIMSoffice (talk) 04:26, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
