Noun

Meaning

Meissner effect (plural Meissner effects)

(physics) The total expulsion of magnetic flux from the interior of a superconducting metal when it is cooled in a magnetic field below a critical temperature, near absolute zero, at which the transition to superconductivity takes place.

Examples

Consequences The discovery of the Meissner effect led to the phenomenological theory of superconductivity by Fritz and Heinz London in 1935. Source: Internet

In superconductors the illusion of perfect diamagnetism arises from persistent screening currents which flow to oppose the applied field (the Meissner effect); not solely the orbital spin. Source: Internet

By the man who explained the Meissner effect. Source: Internet

The Meissner effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state. Source: Internet

This theory explained resistanceless transport and the Meissner effect, and allowed the first theoretical predictions for superconductivity to be made. Source: Internet
