Superconducting transition

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011588",
  "term": "Superconducting transition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phase transition occurring in certain materials when cooled below a critical temperature, at which point they exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields. This phenomenon is characterized by a sharp drop in resistivity to an immeasurable value. The critical temperature, Tc, is a material-specific property that defines the onset of superconductivity.",
