Superconductivity happens when the charge carriers overcome their<br />

mutual repulsion <strong>and</strong> b<strong>in</strong>d together <strong>in</strong>to Cooper pairs.<br />

In conventional, low-temperature superconductors, <strong>phonon</strong>s - quantized vibrations<br />

of the crystal lattice - are responsible for this pair<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

an unconventional mechanism with antiferromagnetic fluctuations<br />

Pair<strong>in</strong>g between fermions can be either <strong>in</strong>duced by <strong>phonon</strong>s, magnons or mediated<br />

by some other boson field.<br />

Experimental arguments that the superconduct<strong>in</strong>g properties are not <strong>in</strong>duced by <strong>phonon</strong>s<br />
