The electrical resistivity of a metal arises from the interactions of the conduction electrons with impurities‚ defects and the vibrating ions of the lattice. As the temperature is lowered‚ the amplitudes of the lattice vibrations diminish‚ so one would expect the resistivity also to decrease gradually toward a small‚ but finite‚ value determined by the impurities and defects. This behavior is manifested by many materials. In 1911 H. Kamerlingh Onnes discovered that as the temperature of mercury
