theres a reference to a decent superconductivity text book at the bottom, so i removed the "references" tag. if its necessary, i can add a further derivation to the article, and cite two other texts which are considered standard solid state textbooks:

[edit] Error

There's a pretty bad error in this article; the equation for the penetration depth is inverted. (Check the units!) It also assumes CGS units with c set to 1. Referencing "Introduction to Solid State Physics" by Charles Kittel, I'm going to take a stab at fixing this. --Starwed 19:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

For now I just fixed the equation, but the units used (which seem to be consistent at least :)) should be specified at the beginning of the article. (Is there a special name for CGS w/ c=1?) --Starwed 19:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
