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 />

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 />
