Conventional superconductor
Conventional superconductors are materials that display superconductivity as described by BCS theory or its extensions.
Critical temperatures of some simple metals:
| Element | Tc (K) |
|---|---|
| Al | 1.20 |
| Hg | 4.15 |
| Mo | 0.92 |
| Nb | 9.26 |
| Pb | 7.19 |
| Ta | 4.48 |
| Ti | 0.39 |
| V | 5.30 |
| Zn | 0.88 |
Would be nice to have something about Type-I vs Type-II superconductors, and a table with the Tc of some simple alloys. (The discussion of Type-I vs Type-II superconductors does not belong here imho because it is also releveant for high-temperature superconductors)
