Homework Statement
Does anyone know what applications has Meissner effect?
I have search on the internet but I did not find much only that the effect is not really of great practical use because it only occurs with superconductors, most effectively with type 1 supercondustors which have to be cooled to around -265 Centigrade. This is not very practical. The Meissner effect is also quenched by large magnetic fields,moreover Meissner effect is considered as a standard method in solid state physics of low temperatur for finding the material is superconductor or not.
Do you know any other applications of the effect?
Thank you
