A type-I superconductor is a material that exhibits superconductivity with a complete expulsion of magnetic fields, known as the Meissner effect, when cooled below a critical temperature. These superconductors are characterized by a single critical magnetic field, above which superconductivity is destroyed, and are typically pure elemental metals or simple alloys. Their behavior in magnetic fields leads to important phenomena like flux quantization and the generation of vortices.
congrats on reading the definition of Type-I Superconductor. now let's actually learn it.
