The reversibility of the magnetic behaviour of superconductors assured by the Meissner effect allows the application of thermodynamics to analyse the macroscopic properties of superconductors. In this second lecture, the fundamentals of electromagnetism and thermodynamics will be reviewed and applied to the analysis of superconductive phenomenon.

The understanding of superconductivity has progressed in four stages. During the first period following the discovery of disappearance of electrical resistivity of mercury by Kamerlingh Onnes, attempts were made to understand superconductivity based only on zero resistance. The second period was initiated by the discovery of the Meissner effect. Based on new knowledge of the magnetic property of zero resistivity, phenomological theories were developed and new aspects of superconductivity were uncovered, culminating in the establishment of the BCS theory. The rediscovery of a second type of superconductivity together with flux quantization initiated the third period where fluxons play an active role. The fourth period, which is still in progress, was initiated by the discovery of oxides with dramatically high critical temperatures. All these activities were initiated by Kamerlingh Onnes' brilliant insight leading to the discovery of superconductivity.

As described in the previous chapters, experiments following the introduction of the London theory revealed a few serious problems which could not be explained by the theory. Examples are transition to the normal state when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the surface of a superconducting film and the dependence of the penetration depth on the addition of impurities. The latter problem was resolved by Pippard through the introduction of the coherence length as described in the previous chapter. A serious problem which remained unresolved was the surface energy at the boundary of the superconducting and normal phases in the intermediate state of Type 1 superconductors. The stability of the intermediate state observed in experiments requires the boundary energy to be positive, which can not be explained by the London theory. In the next few chapters, the phenomological theory by Ginzburg and Landau, which not only resolved these problems but also led to the prediction of Type 2 superconductors, will be described.
