condensed matter - Why does Pressure Increase the Tc (Critical Temperature) of a Superconductor?


Just a heads up - please make this answer understandable to around 1st year degree level physics - not PhD research. So I can understand it - thanks.


I was wondering why they Critical Temperature (Tc) of a Superconductor will increase as the pressure of the superconductor increases. Has it got anything to do with reduced lattice vibrations OR the changes to the Vortex Lattice - and if so why / how?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
