List of superconductors

The table below shows some of the parameters of common superconductors. X:Y means material X doped with element Y, TC is the highest reported transition temperature in kelvins and HC is a critical magnetic field in tesla. "BCS" means whether or not the superconductivity is explained within the BCS theory.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

  • Fulleride superconductor Cs3C60 at 38K
  • Polyhydrides hydrogen rich compounds stabilised under hundreds of gigapascals pressure. For example trihydrogen sulfide H3S At pressures above 90 GPa; 23 K at 100 GPa to 150 K at 200 GPa, or lanthanum decahydride
gollark: They probably make them from digital recordings anyway.
gollark: Vinyl is analog, it's *inherently* lossy.
gollark: What? No.
gollark: Those are outdated too and only useful, loosely speaking, as some kind of weird aesthetic statement.
gollark: It's some kind of ancient analog video system, it's been obsoleted several times over.

Notes
  1. According to,[4] superconductivity in Bi is not compatible with conventional BCS theory because the Fermi energy of Bi is comparable to the phonon energy (Debye frequency).
