Superconductivity#Meissner_effect is more comprehensive for the most part and integrates the topic into its natural category. This article does contain some information and images not present in the Superconductivity article and should be merged.KF6AUF
- Do not merge; stand-alone topics are conducive to learning; (online) article length is inversely proportional to information-acquisition.--Sadi Carnot 17:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Better merge the information from Superconductivity to Meissner effect. vedant (talk • contribs) 13:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- It would be good to have a brief, phenomenological description of the M. effect on the superconductivity page and then a link to a longer article here. Why limit the amount of information on wikipedia or have excessively long articles?
I came to this article looking for a non-technical answer as to why the Meissner effect happens. I left the article still thirsting for knowledge. How about a brief non- (less?) technical description of what's going on? -Mr.Logic 17:40, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
As of 15:40PST on 17 May 2006, this article and the article on perfect diamagnetism are very similar, with the notable difference that this article says "Note that there is a difference between a perfect diamagnet and a superconductor," while the article on perfect diamagnetism says the exact opposite.
[edit] Factual inaccuracy in theory
The meissner effect is distinct from perfect diamagnetism arising from zero resistance. The theory described in the article, as it stands now is wrong. There's no reference to the london equations. I lack the time, so can someone fix it? I'll try editing myself if I have the time siddharth 08:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- There, I've showed that the meissner effect is distince from perfect diamagnetism. siddharth 18:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
