Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Theory of Superconductivity @ 50
Wednesday-Saturday, October 10-13, 2007
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign


THE BCS PAPERS

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Theory of Superconductivity, the American Physical Society (APS) has generously made the three original BCS papers "free to read" in the Physical Review Online Archive (PROLA). This means that anyone can now view and download these papers without a subscription.

Below are links to each of the the three papers in PROLA:

Bound Electron Pairs in a Degenerate Fermi Gas (L.N. Cooper, Phys. Rev. 104, 1189 (1956)

Microscopic Theory of Superconductivity (J. Bardeen, L.N. Cooper, and J. R. Schrieffer, Phys. Rev. 106, 162 (1957)

Theory of Superconductivity (J. Bardeen, L. N. Cooper, and J. R. Schrieffer, Phys. Rev. 108, 1175 (1957)

We would like to thank the APS for sharing these wonderful resources with us.
