Abstract
Superconductors are materials that show properties of perfect diamagnetism and zero resistivity or infinite conductivity below a well-defined temperature known as critical temperature and, in the presence of a magnetic field that is less than a critical value. Based on their behaviour to the externally applied magnetic field, superconductors are divided into two categories; Type-I and Type-II superconductors. In this chapter, we have described various Type-I superconductors, their critical temperatures, history of superconductivity, physical properties, applications, and recent researches on Type-I superconductors, various theories proposed for explaining their properties, and different applications of superconductors.
