X:Y means material X doped with element Y, T C is the highest reported transition temperature in kelvins and H C is a critical magnetic field in tesla. "BCS" means whether or not the superconductivity is explained within the BCS theory.
The non-chiral Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model (=), can be associated with symmetry class BDI with an integer topological invariant due to gauge invariance. [6] [7] The problem is similar to the integer quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect (both in =) which are A class, with integer Chern number.
Several physical properties of superconductors vary from material to material, such as the critical temperature, the value of the superconducting gap, the critical magnetic field, and the critical current density at which superconductivity is destroyed. On the other hand, there is a class of properties that are independent of the underlying ...
Conventional superconductors are materials that display superconductivity as described by BCS theory or its extensions. This is in contrast to unconventional superconductors, which do not. Conventional superconductors can be either type-I or type-II. Most elemental superconductors are conventional. Niobium and vanadium are type-II, while most ...

An organic superconductor is a synthetic organic compound that exhibits superconductivity at low temperatures.. As of 2007 the highest achieved critical temperature for an organic superconductor at standard pressure is 33 K (−240 °C; −400 °F), observed in the alkali-doped fullerene RbCs 2 C 60.
Chemical formulae of superconducting materials generally contain fractional numbers to describe the doping required for superconductivity. There are several families of cuprate superconductors which can be categorized by the elements they contain and the number of adjacent copper-oxide layers in each superconducting block.
Type I superconductors: those having just one critical field (H c) and changing abruptly from one state to the other when it is reached.; Type II superconductors: having two critical fields, H c1 and H c2, being a perfect superconductor under the lower critical field (H c1) and leaving completely the superconducting state to a normally conducting state above the upper critical field (H c2 ...
