The Meissner effect in superconductors: emergence versus reductionism
J. E. Hirsch
The Meissner effect, the expulsion of magnetic field from the interior of a metal entering the superconducting state, is arguably the most fundamental property of superconductors,…

What holes in superconductors reveal about superconductivity
J. E. Hirsch
We consider a type I superconducting body that contains one or more holes in its interior that undergoes a transition between normal and superconducting states in the presence of a…
