 \section{Type II superconductors and the vortex lattice}
-\begin{em}
+In 2003, Alexei Abrikosov was one of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics ``for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids''.
+For this occasion, he gave a lecture called ``Type II superconductors and the vortex lattice''\cite{abrikosov}
+explaining the discoveries that led to the understanding of conventional superconductors.
+To get started, let me first explain what superconductors are.
+
+% Begin copy from philosophy
+Superconductors are characterized by perfect diamagnetism and zero resistance.
+Perfect diamagnetism is the ability by superconductors to have a net zero magnetic field inside.
+If you apply an external magnetic field, this thus means that a superconductor will let a current flow on its inside to generate a field to counteract this external field $\vec{H}$.
+This generated current is called a supercurrent.
+This is, however, a phase of the material.
+Superconductors only have these properties below a certain temperature, its critical temperature $T_c$, and can only expel a maximum external magnetic field, its critical magnetic field $B_c(T)$, which is a function of the temperature.
+
+The class of superconductors we have a model for, is the class of conventional superconductors, which are explained by a theory called BCS (and some extensions).
+In this class, there are two types, called type-I and type-II superconductors.
+% End copy from philosophy
+
+In type-I superconductors, there is only one phase in which the superconductor material exhibits perfect diamagnetism:
+when the externally applied magnetic field $H < B_c(T)$ and $T < T_c$.
+
+In type-II superconductors, there are two phases distinct from the normal conducting state.
+One is the superconducting state which behaves as in type-I superconductors, with critical field $B_{c1}(T)$.
+This state is reached for $T < T_c$ and $B_E < B_{c1}(T)$.
+The other state is a mixed state that allows some flux to pass through the material.
+This passing through is done by creating normally conducting channels throughout the material where a fixed amount of flux can pass through.
+This fixed amount is a multiple of the flux quantum $\Phi_0$.
+The material generates current around these channels cancelling the field on the inside of the superconducting part of the material.

 The nobel prize lecture by Abriskosov \cite{abrikosov} was really interesting.
-The start was a good recap of the breakthroughs relevant to conventional superconductivity,\footnote{Why is that every story on superconductivity includes KGB captivity?}

 but in pages 61--63, the theory is worked through a little quickly.
 I might reread it some times.

 \section{Currents inside type-II superconducting cylinder}
 For $B_{c1} < B_E < B_{c2}$, the cylinder of type-II superconductor material is in the mixed state.
