For most elements, resistivity is taken at room temperature $T = \SI{300}{\kelvin}$. If it was unavailable in consulted references, the value at the temperature closest to \SI{300}{\kelvin} was chosen. See the table in appendix \ref{appendix:scelements} for the raw data including their source. The mess in the left bottom corner was hard to filter out. A log-log plot was attempted and improved separation, but obscured the observed form.} \end{figure} As a way to quantize the (lack of) linear correlation, the calculated Pearson correlation coefficient $r = 0.165415$, suggesting a slightly positive but uncertain correlation. % I used df.corr() to calculate $r$. \section{Exam question electrodynamics in superconductors} No idea yet. \section{Difference between type-I and type-II superconductors} Type-I superconductors are thought to be described by BCS theory. They are phonon-mediated. They have different phase diagrams from type-II superconductors, with two critical fields but one critical temperature. There is a superconducting phase and a vortex phase. Something about quantized flux by the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect. \bibliographystyle{vancouver} \bibliography{references.bib} \appendix \section{Superconducting elements} \label{appendix:scelements} \input{sc_elements.tex} \end{document}
