Alright, there is some experimental evidence for subshell switching as
the cause of superconduction. The technique of photoelectron
spectroscopy has been used on superconductors
as the below reference reveals.

Abstract
We present a review of the current status of angle-resolved
photoelectron spectroscopy of the
valence bands of cuprate superconductors, including results from the
first half of 1996.

Although the paper never lists a subshell switch of a cuprate
superconductor, it does mention the idea of holes or electron carriers
as cited in 5.3 n-type cuprates with the listing of Nd cuprate of 25
K.

So it is not as if there is no work on subshell switching, but rather,
there is work available and there is no proper interpretation of the
work going on.

So that if we can see the transition temperature as that of a
switching of subshells, then we have pinpointed the mechanism of
superconduction.

The article starts off by saying that photoelectron spectroscopy could
not be carried out on traditional superconductors, but that was 1996,
and perhaps by 2012 we can do such experiments on palladium at 3 K and
mercury at 4 K and niobium at 9 K.

Alright, I was looking around for mercury whose ground state is
normally 5d10 with a switch to that of 5d9, 6p1 valence electrons for
when mercury superconducts at 4 K.

Now niobium is 5s1, 4d4 and when it superconducts at 9 K, I speculate
a subshell switch to that of 5s2, 4d3.

There is nothing in the literature of these switches, but then the
speculation of subshell switching is new to physics and people were
just not looking for a subshell switch.

Does it make sense that a subshell switch can occur by lowering the
temperature? Of course it does, since many d transition elements have
anomalies of their subshell according to Aufbau principle. Since many
have anomalies, then we can expect much variance in subshells as the
temperature gets near 0 Kelvin.

And how does a subshell switch create a situation for conductivity to
be superconductivity? Well the switch causes a pathway or a hole in
the substance that electrons flow. A metaphor analogy is that of the
pioneers hacking their way through forests and brush versus a highway
built to the destination.
