Science Bowl Question

📅 MIT Science Bowl 2022🎓 HS🔄 Round 13#️⃣ Question 18🌟 BONUS✍️ Short Answer

A certain alloy becomes superconducting at low temperatures and is placed in a variable magnetic field. As the external magnetic field is increased from zero, there is first a critical field above which the Meissner effect no longer holds completely but the resistivity is still zero. Then, at a much higher magnetic field, there is another critical field above which all superconductivity disappears. What is the term for this type of superconductor?
